Cheap Impostor is a simple yet powerful alternative to fancy imposition software for printing… Created by Dylan McNamee If you want to use your computer to make a book or a magazine, the final step before printing is called imposition. Cheap Impostor is a simple yet powerful alternative to fancy imposition software. It doesn’t offer all the features of high-end imposition software (which costs hundreds or thousands of dollars). Hence the name.However, if you want to print and bind booklets, magazines, or even long books, this program might be all the imposition software you need. More Info »Let’s say you want to make a magazine from a document you’ve written. You would like to have the magazine be the size of a sheet of paper folded in half. You might assume that you can simply print the document 2-up, fold it in the middle, staple and be done. Whoops! If you did that, the first page would be on the back cover of your “magazine”, while page 2 would be on the front. And so on…it gets really ugly. Sooo:Without imposition software the simplest way to transform your document into a magazine would be to use a photo-copier to shrink the pages so two fit sideways on a sheet of paper, and reorder them so that when a stack of them is stapled and folded in half the pages appear in the correct order.The short story is that Cheap Impostor lets you skip the photocopier step, and produce output from your printer that can directly be turned into a magazine. Further, Cheap Impostor has settings that let you create books with multiple signatures.
