## Description

A precision tool for print production. Use `calculate_imposition_plan` to determine page layouts and signature counts, `calculate_creep_adjustment` to find physical paper displacement, or `get_production_summary` for a complete overview of signatures, creep, and padding requirements.

## Tools

### calculate_creep_adjustment
Calculates the physical displacement (creep) caused by the thickness of the paper within a signature

### calculate_imposition_plan
Determines how pages must be laid out on sheets and how many signatures are required

### get_production_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the print requirements by combining imposition and creep data

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the imposition plan for a 32-page book with 16-page signatures using saddle stitch binding.
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 2 signatures. The imposition layout for the first sheet will contain pages 1, 16, 17, and 32.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the creep adjustment for a 32-page signature with 0.2mm paper thickness?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated creep adjustment is 6.28mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a production summary for a 48-page book, 16-page signatures, 0.1mm paper, and perfect binding.
```

**Response:** 
```
The production requires 3 signatures with a total creep of 1.57mm. No extra padding is needed as 48 is divisible by 16.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is an imposition layout?**
It is the arrangement of pages on a single large sheet so that they appear in the correct sequence after folding and trimming.

**How do I calculate paper creep?**
You can use the `calculate_creep_adjustment` tool by providing the signature size, paper caliper, and the unit of measurement.

**Can I use this for saddle stitch binding?**
Yes, the tool supports both saddle stitch and perfect binding via the `calculate_imposition_plan` tool.
