A little print know-how
Good files.
Better results.
A few things to check before you send your job to the printer.
Read the Cut & Stack guideTest with a short numbered PDF
A visible sequence makes the first and last item in each pile easy to verify before production.
Keep the stack together
Printer collation, reversed output order and separate cutting batches can change the gathering result. Proof the whole workflow.
What is cut and stack?
An imposition where each cut pile is already in sequence, so stacking the piles reassembles the document.
Does it work with duplex?
Yes. Backs are placed to match the fronts after the flip.
Is the file uploaded?
Everything runs in your browser. The file is never uploaded, and the download comes from the same engine that drew the preview.
How is this different from ordinary N-up?
Ordinary sequential N-up puts consecutive pages across each sheet. Cut & Stack distributes the sequence through each cut pile so the piles can be gathered in order.
Does Cut & Stack add the ticket numbers?
No. It orders existing PDF pages. Provide a source with the unique numbers or content already applied.
Can I use it for double-sided pieces?
Yes. Double sided pairs odd pages with even pages. Confirm the front/back sequence and duplex direction with a cut proof.

The right tool for the next step.
N-up
Several pages per sheet, in reading order. The sheet and the count are chosen to waste the least paper.
Step & Repeat
Business cards, labels and tickets: each page repeated to fill the sheet, with bleed and marks handled.
Headers, footers & watermark
Add headers, footers, watermarks and page numbers in one place.
