How much paper do I need for a booklet with folded signatures?
A sheet folded once and printed on both sides gives four pages. Every signature uses the stated sheet count, including the last. Round content pages up to full signatures and multiply by sheets and copies for the paper order. Covers and spoilage are separate.
