You can tea dye paper that has print on both sides. Your level of satisfaction with the result will depend on the type of paper and printing process used.
If the paper was printed with an InkJet printer, the ink may smudge or run when dyed with the tea. If the paper was printed on a laser printer or copier, the ink will not run when wet, and the result will be much crisper.
Some papers are better for tea dye than others. You'll want an uncoated paper, which will absorb the tea better. Coated papers will not absorb the dye as well. If you only have coated paper, try wrinking the paper several times. This can make cracks in the coating which will allow the dye to absorb into the fibers of the paper.
Make sure that the paper you use will hold up to the dampness of the tea. Papers with loose fibers, like construction paper or newsprint, will not hold up as well. While you can use these papers, you will want to be careful with them, as they are very delicate when wet.

What is a Dye diffusion printers?
dye sublimation printer A printer that produces continuous-tone images that look like photographic film. Also called a "thermal dye printer," the print cartridge contains a cellophane ribbon with panels of dye the same size as the page to be printed. There are four panels for each print: one each of cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) and a final clear coat that allows the print to be handled immediately without smudging. Special dye-receptive paper is used. Because the same amount of ribbon is used no matter how much color is in the image, the cost of ribbon and paper is always the same per print. Consumables for dye sublimation printers generally cost more than for inkjet printers.
