Finishing is a critically important, but often overlooked, step in the successful production of a printed piece. Imposition of the customer's design onto the press sheet allows the piece to be properly fi nished. This course will focus on the imposition and fi nishing techniques that enable the modern print production facility to effi ciently manufacture completed pieces. (2082-207$ 2082-208 or 2083-346) Credit 3
