"Work and Turn" is a method of printing that utilizes only 1 plate or 1 set of plates to produce a 2 sided piece. It is a cost savings measure to printers as they only have to produce 1/2 the amount of plates usually needed to achieve a 2 sided finished piece. Visualise or obtain a sheet of paper. Draw or imagine a line from top to bottom exactly down the middle of the sheet. The bottom of the sheet will be your "gripper" area, or the edge of the sheet that enters the press first and is held till the sheet exits the press. This is important because it will determine where the images are to be placed. Next, imagine or draw a large number "1" on the right half of the sheet and a large number "2" on the left side of the sheet. This is now your layout for a "Work and Turn". The "1" represents side 1 or the "front" image, the "2" represents the "back" image. Turn the sheet over keeping the gripper edge at the bottom. If you were to print the same image as you did on the other side of the sheet, with a "1" on the right and a "2" on the left, you wil have just done a "Work and Turn". The "2" will be on 1 side of 1 half the sheet with a "1" directly on the other side and visa versa.
