Hi Hraban, Humble but is it that the page will be entirely covered with a float? In that case you might better use the background mechanism so that you can place the float on the paper instead of the page? Willi On May 19, 2012, at 8:38 PM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

In my current book project, I need to set images on fixed pages (because only a few pages get printed in color),
I assume with “fixed pages” you mean “always on the page with a certain number”. This, at least, might be solved with the postponing mechanism:
········································································ \starttext
\startpostponing [3] \startstandardmakeup \externalfigure [cow] [width=\hsize] \stopstandardmakeup \stoppostponing
\dorecurse{42}{\input knuth \par}
\stoptext ········································································
Thank you, that works, but the publisher decided to use glue binding to be able to put colored pages everywhere...
Can you explain, what standardmakeup really does? I know it’s used in "free layout" pages.
Not sure about your full page problem, though.
I'll open another thread on that.
