Variable imaging using an electronic press

摘要

An apparatus and method for controlling an electronic press develops first and second sets of template data representing associated first and second template pages, respectively, wherein each set of template data includes master data representing fixed information to be printed and area data representing an area of a page in which variable information is to be printed. A database is developed having a number of entries, each of which represents variable printed information and an electronic press is responsive to the sets of template data and the database to print the first and second template pages with selected variable printed information.
