Multi-Ups and Multi-Page Ups

Designing Multi-Ups

You can design multi-ups for common paper sizes by shrinking normal sized pages to fit onto a target paper size. For example, you could collect normal 8.5x11 portrait letter pages onto landscape tabloid paper to create newsletters.

But, you are not limited to standard page sizes. With PrintChef, you can create a new page size and then collect the new pages onto any target paper size. For example, with PrintChef, you can create pages for a Day Runner planner by creating the new page size 3.67x6 and then organize those pages 3-up on a landscape letter paper to create 3 pages of Day Runner output per letter paper (see picture below).

The really cool thing is that when your word processor uses a PrintChef page design, it will adopt the new size just like any other page size-- so you can create output that matches exactly what will print.

• You can create a miniature page and lay out multiple copies on a single piece of paper.
• If each copy of the miniature represents the same page, then the layout is called multi-up.
• If each copy of the miniature represents a different page, then the layout is called multi-page-up.
• With PrintChef, you can create different scaled pages, in different orientations, and combine both same pages and different pages on each piece of paper (see Day Runner example in picture)
  
  

• The PrintChef Designer uses "Import Objects" to capture the output of your applications. You can place these objects anywhere on the paper, and specify either identical pages or different pages from the application's output.
• Since each "Import Object" is independent, each can be shrunk, moved, turned, skewed, flipped, colorized, and clipped to your design.
• Label making was never easier or more accurate, because you literally control the location of each label on the sheet.
• It's easy to impress your friends with miniature designs that tantalize your taste for unexpected layouts...
