What is duplex printing?

Duplex printing simply means that text or images are printed on both sides of a piece of paper. However, it can also refer to more creative print runs as ‘duplexing’ can also mean combining different sheets of paper or other materials together to create beautiful effects on your documents. This is achieved by joining different coloured sheets of paper together or using effects such as foiling and diecutting to create truly bespoke print work.

What are the benefits of this type of print?

When referring to printing on both sides of paper, the most obvious benefit of using duplex print is that the amount of paper required for a print run is cut by half. This can greatly reduce your print costs as less paper and ink is required and it is also a more eco friendly option for the same reasons. If professional documents are printed on both sides then this means you can save space in your office when it comes to filing. The more complex duplexing projects allow companies to create eye catching documents which showcase their creativity and can be used in a number of promotional ways.

Why go to a digital printing company for duplex printing?

Paper which has been printed on both sides looks more professional, especially if you ask a digital print company to complete the work for you as their high quality paper and ink will ensure that the pages look clean and crisp and that text and images can’t be seen through the back of each sheet. Digital printing companies also provide automatic duplex printing which can radically reduce printing time as it is done automatically. Expert printers will also be able to talk you through your options for using duplexing to bring creativity to your marketing campaigns.
