Abstract
A desktop printer for plain paper sheets includes the integral combination of a color printer and a text printer. The color printer is of the inkjet type to print color images incrementally and the text printer is of the laser-electrophotographic type to print monochrome text continuously. The printing information is segregated into color and text components, and the color printer is controlled to print only color components while the text printer is controlled to print only text components. A conveyor transports sheets from the text print engine to the color image print engine with incremental indexing motion.
