setgo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hi! I'm a new designer and I'm attempting to print my own zine on a risograph I recently gained access to. I've been looking up tutorials on how to set up files with Affinity, and while I figured out how to set up pages in booklet printing for a regular printer, I have some particular specifications I need help with. The risograph only prints on 8.5x11 or 11x17 paper, but the zine I want to make is A6. So I want to scale the pages on the sheet and lay things out so pagination is correct, even with multiple pages being printed on the same sheet. I also plan on staple binding it, so the typical foldable zine structure won't work. Is there a way to set up pagination automatically using Affinity, or do I need to figure it out for this particular setup by myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 As far as I am aware imposition is still not a feature so sorting the order of pages for staple binding would have to be manually done in this instance. I think some decent PDF editors can do imposition. setgo 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Ventura 13.6, iMac 27" Late 2013 running Catalina 10.15.7 - Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Thanks for letting me know! firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
