Hmmm, took me a while to envision what you are describing, but now that
I've got it . . . I like it. If I undersand you correctly, there is no
absolute need for me to have two pages, one with
text | text
and the other with
art | art
Instead I could just make a single page with
art | text (or vice versa)
and print it twice. And if I insert the paper *back* into my printer
properly, then in the second printing, text will print on the back of
art and art on the back of text.
Thank you.
