Abstract
The present invention relates to a printing system for cut sheets. The printing system comprises a control unit for controlling the printing of image data on a plurality of sheets which comprise at least one speciality sheet intended to be one-sided printed and at least one duplex sheet intended to be two-sided printed. The control unit schedules the plurality of sheets in a printing order. A paper path of the printing system comprises a duplex printing loop, a first turn station arranged in the duplex printing loop for turning a sheet of the plurality if both sides of the sheet are scheduled to be printed in two passes along a print engine arranged in the duplex printing loop and configured to dispose marking material on the sheets according to the image data, in two passes, one side per pass, and a second turn station arranged in an output section for turning the sheet before laying the sheet off in an output holder of the output section. Speciality sheets and simplex sheets in a duplex print job are treated in a special way to avoid productivity loss.
