Suggestions Layout and double sided automations

In Print

New Member
Just curious how you are handling your automations for repeated multiple graphics on a single sheet and as well how you handle setting up double-sided print with variable data so that the backs match the front. Our main workflow for file prep is within illustrator and we send it to Onyx to rip

Dammit, make it faster!!
Our workstations can use several macros in Corel to Nest prints with crop marks then drop into the RIP hot folder for our print tech to handle. The Flexi Production Manager (RIP) doesn't do well at nesting &/or crop marks. Plus the designers can do the nesting and such quicker at their own workstation so as to not tie up the RIP Station.
Double sided gets a Side A file & Side B file. Side A having crop marks and dots for any holes to punch/drill & Side B no crop marks or dots.
We quit doing our own double-sided banners. Too much of a pia, those get outsourced.
