Thanks a lot Willi, Sorry for the late reply. Actually, for a while I couldn't make it work. But It seems it was just my \dosetuparrangement that was wrong. Now it works. Here it is, cleaned-up: \installpagearrangement 2*5*double*2*5 {\dosetuparrangement{2}{5}{10}{3}{6} % number of pages on the x axis, % number of pages on the y axis, % total (?), % number of cutmarks on the x axis, % number of cutmarks on the y axis, \pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED\poparrangedpagesAB\relax} \def\pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED#1% {\advancearrangedpageN \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN \ifcase\arrangedpageN \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA % 1 % Numbers starting from 0: % rotation state, % horizontal placement, % vertical placement. \\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[Vignette][width=80.0mm,height=50.0mm] \setuppapersize [Vignette][A4] \setuparranging [2*5*double*2*5] \setuplayout [margin=0pt, location=middle, marking=on] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\vbox to \textheight{\vfill\midaligned{\tfd ABC}\vfill}\page} \stoptext My aim is to have something as plain as possible so I can modify it quickly to print double-sided cards, more likely from an image, instead of using some clumsy wysiwyg editor. Next thing is to find a sensible name for the layout. I'm not sure about the 2*5*double*2*5 name. Thanks again.

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

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!
