    Hey guys, i'm trying to print double sided brochures with a canon inkjet. Only problem is that there is a small shift of the image on one side, so the images are never exactly aligned from front to back. I'm thinking i will have to try some sort of ink transfer technique to align it properly instead of printing directly onto the paper. Any suggestions? Don't know if this is the right forum but i'm sure someone has an answer for me. Thanks in advance! :p

    this is a forum for printing tradesman running mainly offset sheetfed and web presses. However ill take a stab at your question. If your printer has the option of moving the alignment of its paper feed make sure that when you print the first side your printing is centered. Then when you print the back side it will hopefully be centered and if not then you can move the paper feed so it is. In our industry we would call that a "side guide move", and i think you should call it that too!!!
