●

There is a process to guide you when printing a substrate on both sides.

●

Double-sided printing can be used to print the same image or diﬀerent images on each side.

●

The process automatically compensates for any registration errors, of the position of the plot, along both

axes (along the substrate width + substrate advance) to minimize any errors.

●

The dual-roll spindle cannot be used when printing double-sided.

●

The images of Side A and Side B must have the same dimensions. The image that you select for each side

must be the same image for the entire side.

Create a job

Any image created in the RIP can be printed on either side A or side B, without any special requirements.

However, side A and side B must have the same dimensions when printed on the substrate.

NOTE:

In order to minimize registration errors on some substrates, you are recommended to compensate for

substrate contraction in the RIP when the image is generated.

Deﬁne double-sided job

The following steps provide the complete procedure for this topic.

Open the

Job Properties

window of any job.

Enable the double-sided view, to show both sides in the preview area on the right.

You can replace one of the sides with another image from the Inbox, or leave the job as it is, with both sides

showing the same image.

After selecting one of the sides in the preview, you can assign the appropriate substrate and print mode to

it, which may or may not diﬀer from the those assigned to the other side, depending on physical substrate

properties.

You can also use the

Check both images

button to compare the images of the two sides at 50%

transparency.

NOTE:

Any change that aﬀects the placement of the image on side A (such as adding margins) will

automatically be applied on side B, to maintain correct registration.

Once the double-sided job has been composed, save the ﬁle. A new cluster will be created to hold the jobs

that belong to more than one type of substrate.

Follow these steps to print a double-sided job.

Drag the job to the queue.

Two parallel queues are created instead of one: one for side A and one for side B.

Tap

on the one you want to be printed.

Bear in mind that, if you decide to print side B, the printer will look for the registration lines previously

printed on side A. The printed side A must already be loaded correctly so that the registration line can be

found.
