Understanding the imposing-mechanism

Hi there, following Wolfgangs suggestion, I set every game-card on a single page now. All cards are in one pdf-File, each on his own page. Every page has the size 47,5mm x 76mm. Now I tried to place the pages on a big sheet, its size is 660mm x 330mm, s.th. the small cards are set in a 4*13 sceme (floor(330/76)=4 and floor(660/47,5) = 13) - but I failed. There is an example in the wiki for imposing existing pdf-pages, but I do not understand it, and if I try to change its values for my example, I get nothing reasonable, nor even understandable. The example of the wiki is here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition And here my failed try: \definepapersize[sheet][width=660mm,height=330mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+4mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+4mm\relax] \setuppaper[sheet][bigsheet] \setuppaper[nx=13, ny=4] \setuplayout[page][location=middle, marking=on] \setuparranging [XY] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[] \starttext \insertpages [eslami_karten.pdf][] \stoptext Thanks for help.

You have to change the size for the page and paper, the first has to be the size of the cards while the second is the size of the paper which you use to print all cards. \definepapersize [card] [width=47.5mm,height=76mm] \definepapersize [sheet] [width=660mm,height=330mm] \setuppapersize [card][sheet] \setuplayout [page] [location=middle,marking=on] \setuplayout [page] \setuppaper[nx=13,ny=4] \setuparranging [XY] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{100}{\centerbox{\definedfont[Sans sa 5]\pagenumber}\page} \stoptext Wolfgang
