We have a user interested in printing "post cards" on a laser printer. Either a DEC LPS40 (8 cards per 11x17 sheet) or Apple LW NTX (4 cards per 8.5 x 11 sheet) will be used. I'm wondering about the following items: 1. PRINTING ON HEAVIER WEIGHT PAPER. A local offset printer uses 32lb paper for post cards, and the US Postal Service requires that the paper be .007 inch thick. Can the above printer engines print on paper that thick/heavy? 2. TWO-SIDED PRINTING. The user wants to print an address on one side of the card and mail-merge style message on the reverse side. Other than the front-to-back and sheet-to-sheet alignment, what problems will we run into printing on both sides? Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Are there any other caveats? Thanks, -- michael ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael McGuffey, Senior Software Applications Analyst Phone: 304/696-3212 University Computer Center FAX: 304/696-3601 Marshall University BITNET: mcguffey@muvms1 Huntington, WV 25755-5320 Internet: mcguffey%muvms3@wvnvms.wvnet.edu
