A method and system of making a book formed of a plurality of booklets having a plurality of sheets including receiving a paper value from an input device which corresponds to a sheet thickness. A maximum number of sheets per booklet based on the paper value is determined. The minimum number of sheets which will contain all pages of the book pages and the least number of booklets required responsive to the maximum number of sheets required are determined. The number of sheets in each booklet is determined and is stored. The sheets are distributed among the number of booklets. The creep for each sheet based on the paper value is determined. An image transfer device is controlled responsive to the determination of the creep.

Method and system for producing booklets

Disclosed herein is a method wherein each pixel is tagged with a special VI (Variable Information) flag, which indicates the color of the pixel is variable or fixed. When the document gets created during raster image processing ('ripping'), the output CMYK of the VI and non-VI pixels are constrained to be odd and even numbers, respectively. In the meantime, a special TRC is created, and the VI colors are obtained through this special TRC at the odd indices, while the non-VI colors are obtained through the even indices. To enable the variable colorization printing, the job needs to be ripped once and saved. The saved job then can be reprinted multiple times with different TRCs that have the same values at the even indices, but different values at the odd indices.
