Abstract
Printing reproductions of a black and white only original document on a digital printer capable of color printing, with selected black and white text portions of the original being printed in a highlight color, wherein the original document uses at least two different black and white text fonts, by forming as by scanning an electronic image of the black and white only original document; selecting at least one font; automatically electronically searching the text of the electronic image to find and electronically designate occurrences of the same selected font to be reproduced in a highlight color by electronically providing a color printing control associated therewith; and printing the electronic image with the digital printer automatically controlled by the color printing control so that the occurrences of the selected font are printed in a highlight color by automatically replacing the black and white original text in the selected font with the highlight color, but with the other text in other fonts printed in black and white, to provide reproductions with automatic color highlighting of only the selected font, without requiring manual designations of coordinate locations therefor, wherever it occurs in the original document.
