We redesigned the print job so the back page was not custom to each print. So at full speed we would print one side then back into the hopper for the real printout.
HP makes a fairly nice laserjet so get on the PHONE to see what they have is their fastest. This changes monthly so my answer is already out of date.

Hi All,
A couple of years ago I purchased 2 HP 4350 LaserJets to use to print billing mailer forms. These forms are 8 1/2" X 14" and require printing on each side. We print roughly 7500 of these billing forms in a job. While the 4350's are rated by HP at something like 55 pages per minute, our actual experience on these duplexed forms is more like 6 per minute per printer, meaning the job runs for about 10 hours.
Why so slow? Well...it's because we are using the duplexing feature. I knew up front that duplexing would mean the printers would run slower, but I certainly never appreciated HOW MUCH slower until I started running these jobs.
Is anyone aware of a laser printer that would print this job faster? Does anyone make a duplexing printer that actually prints both sides at the same time? Or, do all duplexing printers print one side, reverse the paper path, and then print the other side?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Phil
