ABSTRACT:
A system for printing social expression cards includes both a database preparation system and a plurality of remote card printing systems. The database preparation system uses a scanner to input images from a plurality of cards, or a computer software program to create a plurality of images for use in card designs. A high resolution print image and a lower resolution display image are created from each of these images. A card description database defines the layout of each card in terms of its component images and their locations on the card. The database preparation system can also build a menu database defining a structure of menu screens to query the user to select a desired category of cards. A list of card names is linked to each category in the menu database. These databases and image files are then copied onto removable data storage media for distribution to each of the card printing systems. A typical card printing system has a display, a color printer, input means (e.g. a keyboard or trackball), data storage means for reading the removable data storage media, and a computer processor. The processor uses the menu database to prompt the customer to select a desired category of cards.
