Face-to-face printing within booklet

A method for printing a booklet, comprising:

• sequentially feeding a number of print media through a feeder to a first print media path, each of the number of print media including a first side and a second side;
• fixing a first plurality of images on the first side of each odd numbered print media and on the second side of each even numbered print media in a first pass through the first print media path;
• fixing a second plurality of images on the second side of the odd numbered print media and on the first side of the even numbered print media in a second pass through the first print media path;
• alternatively inverting the number of print media;
• and,
• stacking the number of print media.

A system for producing a booklet, comprising:

• a sorting component that sequentially orders a first plurality of images and a second plurality of images;
• a feeder that sequentially feeds a plurality of two-sided print media;
• a printer that sequentially transfers one of the first plurality of images on a first side of each of the plurality of two-sided print media;
• a fixer that fixes the transferred images on each print media;
• and,
• an inverter that sequentially inverts a first pass of each one of the imaged plurality of two-sided print media;
• wherein the printer subsequently sequentially transfers one of the second plurality of images on a second side of each of the plurality of two-sided print media, the fixer fixes the transferred images and the inverter inverts alternate print media on a second pass of the plurality of two-sided printed media, and the plurality of two-sided print media are arranged to facilitate creating an associated booklet in which a plurality of print media forming the booklet each have an image contained thereon and each print media has been subject to fixing a same number of times as the image on an opposing print media.
