duplex printing help

I need to be able to create a two-paged Photoshop document so that our Print Shop can duplex (print on both sides) a 3,000 piece bundle.
I can't seem to find a way to do that. Is it not possible??
If it's not possible, how do you get around it? The Print Shop does NOT want to have to print side one and then reposition the paper, because we're doing 3,000 of them and the paper tends to curl and then the placement is skewed.
Thanks for your help! I'm on a pretty tight deadline.
 
I have a job that needs to be printed this afternoon. Our company has a brand new Xerox ... they're not gonna shell out for another printer. But the question was: Does Photoshop allow you to create a two-page document? The quick fix was to pull both front and back into an InDesign document.
 
it is not PS that makes this choice, it is the printer...
you could also set-up the job in Adobe Acrobat, but, still need a printer that prints on both sides...
go to your nearest Kinkos, most of their printers will print on both sides...

again... it is the printer... not the software you use to set it up...
 
Not sure I follow you. If I have a one-page document in Photoshop and a second one-page document in Photoshop, I can't tell my printer to print the first page and then hold the document in the printer until the second page comes through. Are you telling me that a different printer can take two separate documents to duplex? Our printer prints on both sides very well ... just not from two completely separate documents.
 
OK... the printer does this...
when you set-up the print job, on the printer, using the printer's lay-out software...

you have a two page document, page #1 on the front, page #2 on the back...
this is set-up, at the printer...

I worked at a Kinkos, we used Acrobat PDF files... easy for "most" customers to create...
 
RIGHT -- "two-page document" is key. Photoshop apparently doesn't allow you to create a two page document. That's my question. Does it allow that and I just can't find where?
 
I think perhaps I'm not phrasing my question correctly as your answers don't fit with what I'm trying to ask.
I simply want to know: can you create a two-page single document in Photoshop?
 
does your printer accept PDFs?
you are asking PS to do page-layout...

google is your friend...
sorry... I do not have enough posts to add a link...
