Shingler is an imposition software tool that aids in determining the degree of shingling required for a job. It is compatible with any imposition program.
Shingler is a highly useful software utility that interfaces with any imposition program in order to help users determine the appropriate level of shingling (or creep) required for their print job. Developed using VB.net for the PC and RealBasic for the Mac, Shingler leverages values for each paper type from www.paper-paper.com/weight.html to perform its calculations. For those familiar with Metrix, it is worth noting that the numbers used by Shingler are highly similar to those employed by this popular imposition software.
Shingler's calculations are based on the formula ((Pages/4)-1)*thickness. Here, the '-1' in the middle of the calculation is included because one of the spreads does not need to be shingled, as it serves as the foundation for all the others. It is worth noting that Shingler uses the same calculation as Metrix, making it a highly straightforward and efficient tool for those already familiar with Metrix's approach. If you're looking for a reliable and easy-to-use shingling utility for your print jobs, Shingler comes highly recommended.
