Double-Sided Printing

[a_l_a_n]

Does anyone know how to produce a double-sided print in Composer? Is there some tool that can do it?

Presumably the technique involves printing the first image in reverse on a transparent medium, printing over that with a solid background color, and then printing over that with the second image. Has anyone any thoughts?

Thanks.

You need to mirror first image and print in reverse order, then lay down white, gray, black, gray white then the normal image! hope this helps!

it's a matter of your layers.. print one side in reverse, white mask between them, print other colors..

you can set your colors to different settings if you need to, and then stack the colors in the order you want them to print in cut/plot.

(just taking a guess, never had to do d/s images)

You need more than white between to stop/block image! If you had signlab 7 or above they have a plug in that makes it easy and even makes it see through (simulated purf)!

You got it, signage. It's a PITA until you get the hang of it... and I found you can substitute the grey black grey with a medal foil as a blockout.

Pat one I have done with some what luck is white, silver, white! But for some reason sometimes the white doesn't want to stick to the silver!

yeah same here... i've been printing a lot of things on edge1 setting lately and have had much better luck with (especially white) breakup.
