Business Cards - Printing Double Sided With Merged Data On Each S

Q: 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??

A: -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. http://www.gmayor.com/duplex_merge_data.htm -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.
