Integration, Beyond PURLs —Sherburne

Once images were introduced—which is the true power of variable printing—processing speeds could be painfully slow and, in fact, some controllers were not able to manage the load.

Today, we have both forms-based and object-based solutions in the market. The key difference is that with object-based solutions, the first time an object is received by the controller, it is not only processed, but also cached for later use. The second time that object is required, it is already processed and ready for immediate incorporation into the variable page.
