SCHEMA EXPLANATION

Fixed signature size of 16 pages, printed recto-verso on a single sheet.

Typical usage: print A6 on A3, then fold trice, first along the y axys, then the x axys and finally the y axys again. You need to trim the top and right margins before binding.

Not suitable for home-printing because the spine is unstable unless done by a machine.

Visualization (the prefix r means logical page disposed upside-down -- rotated 180 degrees):
