Abstract (en)
A system and method for producing personalized imaged material includes sclectively gathering stock sheets and assembling the stock sheets into designated sets of sheets, or in an alternative method, sequentially feeding the stock sheets. The stock sheets in each designated set of sheets are sequentially processed to image personalized information onto the stock sheets. The personalized sheets are sequentially presented for finishing, which can include associating an additional item with the personalized sheets. Processing is carried out by collators, feeding systems, and variable data imaging systems, and finishing systems. Operational control is provided by a control system that includes a data structure containing user information and recipient profile information. An operations controller executes job requests for a particular user and accesses recipient profiles to image personalized information onto the stock sheets. The system and method are useful for direct marketing, invoicing, document preparation, preparation of personalized books, and the like. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
