Abstract: A customized business form or brochure having high resolution color graphics may be created by an end user without layout experience at a computer terminal at a user site to provide a customized business form or brochure in electronic format. Low resolution graphics templates (as well as textual templates) are provided at the user station to facilitate production of the customized business form and brochure and once the created document in electronic format is saved at the user station it may be electronically or otherwise transmitted to a printing installation without the necessity of transmitting a final document with high resolution color graphics in physical form. At the printing installation a physical copy (e.g. paper copy) of the business form or brochure is imaged (e.g. with a printing press or using ion deposition or other non-impact imaging techniques) with high resolution color graphics.
