Paul, My memory is similar to what you did with the layer: in PS Elements you can just drag the layer to your print. It would be nice if MIS mixed the toner.

The backside of my Epson HPn has about the same Lab B as the front. They do say to print on only one side, however. Back-side coatings are to control curl.
