Double sided Switch cover printing?

Does anyone have a good method for printing both sides for a Nintendo switch cover?

wiggy:

If you're printer prints 2-sided, then tick the print both sides box in the print menu.

Otherwise print one side, make sure it's centered, flip the page, print other side.

Got it. Shoulda figured it was that simple. I appreciate not getting a smarmy answer, as deserved as it may have been.

TDIRunner:

I do the same as what Wiggy said, expect for the inside, I make sure it is slightly bigger, or I add a small border around the outside, usually black, but it depends on the color of the inside. I do this because no matter how much time you spending trying to get both centered, it never works out perfect. I always cut on the front side because I want it perfect, but the inside usually has a little bit of white (non printed) on one side that didn't line up perfectly. If you have a small border around the outside, that won't show up.

Oh man, I just had a flashback to 20 years ago struggling to line up double-sided art for custom CD cases. I struggled so much to get those damn things to line up right. A border would have been such a smart move. Thanks for the tip!
