Abstract
Systems and methods for prioritizing print jobs of different families within a print job batch are provided. Such a system may include, for example, an input/output port and a processor. The input/output port may output a print job batch including at least one print job of a first family and at least one print job of a second family. The processor configured may determine the order of priority of the print job batch based at least in part on a first trend of expected differences in setup times between print machines when the first family is prioritized before the second family and a second trend when the second family is prioritized before the first family.
