[dba-Tech] Fake Duplex Printing

That's true, but you can get a better result after you print the first side
leave them somewhere a while for the paper to cool and rest, then put them
on a flat clean surface, I sometimes put them on top of a spare piece of
A4, then put another piece of A4 on top, then I normal get a full ream of
paper and put this on top usually for about half hour (more is usually
better, but im impatient), then I fan the paper by hold one side and
flicking the pages, then do the reverse, square the paper back off and
usually works for me unless I have just been lucky :)
