Does anyone have experience w/ color double-sided printing?

specifically:
1. Problems/techniques used?
2. Possible on i950 or i960? or any other printer?
3. Specific paper used?

thanks

Two sided printing, if you are looking for photo quailty, requires special two sided paper. Yes you can use the Epson but need to let the image dry for at least 15 minutes.

Thanks, photoaz.

Has anyone ever used -successfully-- the epson two-sided paper on the i950/i960?

I have used the Epson double sided matte paper on the S9000, so I suspect it will work with the other printers using the same ink set.

It worked as well as single sided matte paper.

I have the Canon i850, and I get beautiful prints on both sides of the paper. I use the Canon Photo Paper Pro. I will print one side, then let it dry for about 10 minutes, then print the other side. Looks good in an album. Less costly also, when buying paper.

I just printed some to make sure I wasn't wrong. I get great prints on both side of the Photo Paper Pro. You must have had your settings set for a different paper if they were noticeably bad. Photo paper Pro is the thicker of them.
