Give the press operator a ticket they can run.
Size, press, stock, imposition and finishing belong at the machine. The screen and printable work order carry the manufacturing instructions for the same job.
For this 450-booklet run, the cover needs 450 sheets of 100 lb gloss cover. The inside pages need 1,350 sheets of 80 lb gloss text. Both print in full color on two sides.
