Imposition

The arrangement of document pages so that they will appear in the correct order after the document has been printed and folded.

Interpolation

An interpolated bitmap image is one where pixels have been artificially added either by the input device, such as a digital camera or during in the scanning process, or afterwards in graphics editor such as Photoshop. This is done to artificially enhance the resolution of an image.

Interpolating an image's resolution generally results in a 'soft' or fuzzy image, as the software has added pixels by 'guessing' where they should go, based on the shades of the pixels in proximity.
