Most needed use cases:
- booklet printing:
Arrange original pages on print sheets which are at least twice as large as the original page; make sure the backside pages end up at the correct position and orientation.
Take care of bleed areas and crop marks.
- business cards:
Replicate original page in a fixed grid on the print sheet; take care that the backside matches.
- n-folds:
Scribus already allows reader spreads for a limited choice of n-folds. Provide a simple imposition for these on a print sheet.
- Möbius band printing:
Arrange a sequence of pages in strips which can be glued together to form a Möbius band (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip)
