In typesetting, a forme (or form) is imposed by a stoneman working on a flat imposition stone when he assembles the loose components of a page (or number of simultaneously printed pages) into a locked arrangement, inside a chase, ready for printing.[1]
If metal type is kept locked up in the typeset document for long periods to allow reprint, this is called "standing type".[2]
