3. Some of the commonly used layout specifications:
a) Poetry collection: usually used in a narrow and narrow format
b) Theoretical books: Large 32 is more commonly used
c) Children's books: close to the square opening
d) Small dictionary: 42 inches or less, 106/173mm
e) Technology book: need a larger and wider version

The characteristics of this paper are similar to, but not identical to, newsprint. Since the ratio of paper pulp to pulp is better than that of newsprint, the fiber structure of the letterpress paper is relatively uniform, and the gap between the fibers is filled with a certain amount of filler and rubber, and is also bleached, which forms The adaptability of this paper to printing. It is slightly different from newsprint. Although its ink absorption is not as good as newsprint, it has the characteristics of uniform ink absorption; water resistance and paper whiteness are better than newsprint. The relief paper has the characteristics of uniform texture, no lint, slight elasticity, opacity, slight water resistance, and certain mechanical strength.

The common common imposition methods can be divided into the following types:
1. Single-sided: This method refers to prints that only need to print one side, such as posters, only need to print the front side, while the back side does not need to be printed.

In the imposition, seal one and seal four, seal two and seal three horizontally together, then seal one and seal four, seal two and seal three heads to each other in a four-open Printing on the layout, after one side of printing, the paper is rotated 180 degrees, and the printing is continued with the reverse side. After the completion, the printed matter is cut from the middle, and two identical prints can be obtained.
