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: \installpagearrangement 2*5*double*2*5 {\dosetuparrangement{5}{2}{10}{3}{6}% X,Y,Total,hcutmarks,vcutmarks \pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED\poparrangedpagesAB\relax} \def\pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED#1% {\advancearrangedpageN \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN \ifcase\arrangedpageN \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA % 1 rot,hskip,vskip \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageB % 2 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA % 3 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageB % 4 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}001\arrangedpageA % 5 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}011\arrangedpageB % 6 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}011\arrangedpageA % 7 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}001\arrangedpageB % 8 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}002\arrangedpageA % 9 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}012\arrangedpageB % 10 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}012\arrangedpageA % ... \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}002\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}003\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}013\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}013\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}003\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}004\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}014\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}014\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}004\arrangedpageB % \poparrangedpages \fi} \definepapersize[Etiquette][width=80.0mm,height=50.0mm] \setuppapersize [Etiquette][A4] \setuparranging [2*5*double*2*5] %\setuplayout [margin=0pt, width=fit] \setuplayout[ %location=middle,%nx=2,ny=5, %location=middle, location=left, marking=on, margin=0mm, topspace=0mm, backspace=0mm, width=fit, %header=0mm, %footer=0mm, %align=middle, ] \showframe %\setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\vbox to \textheight{\vfill\midaligned{\tfd ABC}\vfill}\page} \stoptext

Hello Jigé, Adapt your layout to the following and it works. \setuplayout [%] margin=0mm, topspace=0mm, backspace=1mm, width=80mm, height=50mm, nx=2, ny=5, dx=0mm, dy=0mm, location=middle, marking=on, ] Kind regards Willi
