A method of printing a variant of an original page at a printer based on one or more selected transformation effects. Applying transformation effects can include modifying commands in a print job to adjust global page settings or parameters of individual elements on the page, and/or adding new elements to the page. As such, one or more variants of an original page can be generated at a printer from a digital original or scanned page, and the printer can print out one or more copies of each variant.
