\installpagearrangement doublesided stickers

16 Jan 2022

      Greetings everyone.

Well, it's not exactly about double-sided stickers but sort of. Imagine printing a double-sided sheet and using a so-called plastifying device to make tokens.
I began with the File Card and Labels examples from the wiki, then tried to change the \installpagearrangement example from the 'imposition' wiki page.

My question is:
how to position everything in the middle of the sheet, so that double-siding actually works?
As is, it's all in the top left corner. Changing the location argument for "location=middle" in \setuplayout doesn't work here. What should it be?

By the way, I'm not sure about the 3rd, 4th and 6th arguments in the dosetuparrangement command.

Thanks a lot!

Here it is:
