PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method that efficiently render portions of each of a plurality of separate images for each of a plurality of tandem print engines. SOLUTION: This invention includes steps of inputting color image data to be printed using two of the number n of the print engines, wherein the color image data consists of a plurality of input data strips and a number of the input data strips are combined to form a single image; selecting a first input data strip; generating one color separation layer strip from the selected input data strip; converting one of the one color separation layer strip into raster data usable by a corresponding one of the n print engines to form an image strip on a substrate; and storing, for each converted color separation layer strip, the raster data for that color separation layer strip into a memory associated with the corresponding one of the n print engines.
