I suppose this would be nice for some printers like a news paper or magazine
printer that does imposition in a very limited number ways but I do not see
this as even remotely possible for most commercial sheetfed printers. In an
Average month my company does about 300 jobs that range in size from a
business card to 100,000 plus runs on a web. Common signatures are rare. If
I started saving templates and only creating new ones when I did not have
one that would work I would easily have 1000 imposition template in six
months and still need to create new ones on 1 out of 3 jobs. Our work is
just so diverse that I would never reach a point of having an imposition
template to cover anything that comes up. And if I did save template in most
cases it would be faster to just impose something from scratch than figure
out which one of the thousands I would have to save would work.
