ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for creating and vending printed card products such as greeting cards is disclosed, whereby a customer can select a card product for a desired application and customize or personalize certain portions of the selected card product. A terminal area or kiosk is provided at which the customer selects from a monitor screen display one of a number of different selection criterion for which he/she wants to obtain a card product. There may be multiple levels of selection criteria. Upon entry of the selection via, e.g., a transparent touch-sensitive plate on the monitor screen, one or more pre-stored groups of card product design formats pertaining to the selected selection criterion are determined, and the customer is prompted to select a particular card format to customize. The card product designs may include separate graphics, text and spaces for insertion of customized user messages, and these elements may be stored in a compressed format. Further inquiries via the monitor screen elicit custom messages to be reproduced at designated locations in the format of the chosen card product. The customized card product is then created by, e.g., a multi-color ink plotter that is fed with specially prepared sheets of card stock, and vended to the customer.
