Business cards - printing double sided with merged data on each si

[Bran]

Hi there! I have two sided business cards that I wanna print with a Bizhub
duplex unit. Each side of a card has merged data from MS Access database.
Now, when I press print I receive a message that Publisher cannot print
double sided documents with merged data...Why or better, how can I get what I
need? Otherway, duplexer is working just fine without merged data. Any
suggestions??

If you need double-sided cards, you need two separate files in Publisher if you
use a merge. Print one side at a time.
Graham Mayor has an excellent article on how to do this in Word with a duplex
unit. It maybe worth a look.

Do you already have a full version of Acrobat?

If so, turn your cards--better yet, a single card image, front and
back--into PDF and use Fusion Pro Desktop from Printable to do all the
work, including imposing the cards on the sheet.

Fusion Pro Desktop is a bit pricey. Between Acrobat and Fusion Pro Desktop
you've spent about $800. One can buy a lot of commercial business cards for that
price. This isn't including the software to create the card design.

One presumes you have Acrobat already just because it's darn near
necessary anyway, so the $399 for Fusion Pro to do this kind of work is
a pittance.
