Double-sided Business Cards

I would like to print out double-sided business cards (info on both the front and back), but haven't found directions in the manual or in the Discussions. Anyone know 1) can it be done? 2) if so, how?

Thanks.

Hi reformedhoss

Welcome to the forum.

Normally you would do that with a symmetrical layout. Both sides (front and back) appear on the layout with the front being on the left and the back on the right.

Then you print once, turn the paper over left to right and feed back into the printer in the same orientation. This way the left side prints behind the right and you end up with 2 sets double sided of business cards.

You can also layout 2 separate pages with the layout being centred and symmetrical and do the same thing.

If you are doing this on a desktop printer or commercial digital press be aware that the alignment is not perfect. So ensure that any overall color well and truly bleeds over the edges of the business cards and any crucial detail such as the type stays well within the card edges.
