ABSTRACT:
A single document page with multiple different variable indicia from a least two discrete sources is produced using a computer control and an imaging system (such as a selective flexographic system with ion deposition or ink jet stations), variable database streams and variable data streams from at least two discrete sources are fed to the same computer control, which is then used to control the imaging system to merge the variable database streams and variable data streams from at least two discrete sources to that they may be imaged on the same document page. Paper is fed to the imaging system, and using the imaging system the same document page is imaged with variable database indicia from the multiple discrete sources. Three, or even more, discrete sources can be utilized, and each discrete source may also have a distinct form structure so that the variable data indicia and variable database indicia are each placed in their own distinct form structure. The variable database streams may include company name and logo data, coupon data, direct marketing messages, and/or images, or the like, while the variable data streams include alphanumeric characters which convey account and/or billing information. All of the indicia may be imaged on the same face of a single sheet (e.g. having a maximum length of about 12 inches and a maximum width of about 9 inches), and imaging may take place on a web which is then cut into individual single pages.
