Definition: Most papers have a top (felt side) and bottom (wire side) which are somewhat different in appearance and printability due to the paper manufacturing process. This difference is the two-sidedness of the paper. Two-sidedness differs from duplex paper in that it is a natural occurrence due to the manufacturing process and not necessarily an intentional effect.
