Lamination
A plastic coating which protects the printed surface and usually gives a high gloss finish. Most paperback books have laminated covers.
Imposition
The layout of pages on the printed sheet so that they are in the correct order when the sheet is folded up and trimmed. Imagine a 16 page A5 leaflet printed on a single SRA2 sheet. The sheet is folded in half three times before trimming and stitching. If you look at the printed, unfolded sheet you will see that, for example, page 2 is adjacent to page 15 and half the pages are upside down! There are many different imposition layouts - some of them very complex.
Insert
Technical term for those irritating adverts that fall to the floor when you open a magazine. An insert is usually not secured to the main book or brochure and is sometimes referred to as a loose insert for obvious reasons.
Intaglio
A printing process where the image is engraved below the surface of the printing plate such as gravure.
Interleaving
Introducing alternate sheets of blank paper between the printed sheets as they come off the press to prevent set off.
