I’m thinking (guessing) that he’s into the more general problem that you get when you are trying to print say a booklet with multiple pages of the book per printed sheet. You do have to print double-sided (and your printer may help you with that) but the key is lay it out so that page 2 of the booklet is at the back of page 1 etc. If for example you have an 8 page leaflet printed four up, the first - verso - physical page could be laid out like
1 3 5 7 and the other side of the paper - recto - would be laid out 4 2 8 6 People who print books etc are having to do this all the time, so it’s reasonable to assume that the problem has been encapsulated in a procedure by now. I won’t start with the links, since I don’t really know if this is the problem Brian is trying to solve. Graham > On 29 Jan 2021, at 06:21, J.
