Make-up Process of Books

Impression

One impression equals 1/2 broadside sheet, for one folio (in the standard of folio printer), impression=page number/binding size(1) Impression=96/16=6, i.e. 6 impression means to use 6 folios (3 broadside sheets) to complete a book.
※ One impression of the printing plate has 16 folios, 8 page numbers on the front and 8 on the back, which constitute an impression.
(2) A 16-mo book with 88 page numbers, impression=88/16=55. In theory, five and half impression, i.e. five and half folios could complete the book.
(3) A 16-mo book with 92 page numbers, impression=92/16=575, in theory, five and three fourths pages could complete the book.
(4) A 16-mo book with 94 page numbers, impression=94/16=5875, in theory, five and seven eighths pages could complete the book.

General Knowledge of Binding

Signature:fold the impression (cut or uncut) into several folds according to page number and sequence. The fold with multi-pages is called a signature of book-block. After collocating the folded signatures into volumes by order and combine them, it is called saddle stitching. Impression→folding→collating→wrappering→saddle stitching→cutting
