A method comprising: using a general purpose processor based system to request purchase of value bearing indicia via a general purpose browser; receiving, from a server in response to said purchase request, a content object comprising at least one content object parameter and a purchased value bearing indicia, wherein content object parameters restrict a use of said purchased value bearing indicia by said general purpose processor based system, wherein said restricting said use comprises preventing said general purpose browser from adding headers or footers when printing said purchased value bearing indicia, and wherein all printing options associated with the value bearing indicia are defined before the general purpose browser receives the content object; and using said content object to print, by a printer, said purchased value bearing indicia in accordance with said at least one content object parameter.
