Jim;

I'm in the process of doing same, and started out thinkng about two-
sided printing also. due to cost and convenience factoers I came up 
with an alternative you might consider: I bought 13x19 Epson Heavy 
weight matte, which prints virtually identically with EAM but has no 
watermark, and I'm cutting them down the middle into 9.5x13 pieces.
that's tall enough to allow you to put a verically squished calendar
across the bottom 30%. I just finished the first page and the effect 
is quite elegant, and easier to do than having to print on the back. 
It does however assome you have a calender program that allows you 
to change proportions like that, and most I tried won't. If it 
interests you, e-mail me of-list.
