Abstract
A method for printing a variable data document includes receiving the variable data document which has a specified or estimated repeat length L; receiving or selecting a designated queue size (DQS) and a parameter Q representing a number of repeated pages to be provided in a chunk; arranging at least a portion of the variable data document into at least one cycle of chunks for processing using raster image processors (RIPs), wherein each of the at least one cycle of chunks contains R chunks and each chunk of a first cycle of the at least one cycle of chunks has a size C determined using DQS, Q, and L; and processing, using the RIPs, the portion of the variable data document into rasters for printing by providing at least one chunk of the at least one cycle of chunks to each of the RIPs.
