Re: [Digital BW] Need postcard stock and/or ink

There shouldn't be any problem printing on the back of the paper and it is very unlikely to put your print heads at risk. You will just have to do a test or two to see what settings you need. The alignment issue shouldn't be too much of a problem either if you think it through. I've done similar things without problems, the main issue was potential damage to the images when the paper did its second pass through the printer. If you go ahead I would print the postage side first.
