Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for imposing a print job. In one example, the system discloses a computer programmed with executable instructions which operate a set of modules, including an imposition sequence module 104 which calculates a time to process the print job 102 relative to a processing operation 117, and an imposition module 114, 116 , or 118 which variably imposes the print job 102 based on the time to process. In one example, the method discloses how to balance a print job 102 workflow relative to a processing operation 117 , and impose the print job 102 based on the workflow balancing.
