Method and device for double-sided printing to a recording medium

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein, when executed, the program instructs a controller of a printing system to control the printing system to:

• print to a first side of the recording medium with a liquid first color separation;
• pre-dry the liquid first color separation to provide the first color separation in a pre-dried state, the pre-drying being configured such that a predetermined final drying state remains unachieved, wherein the pre-dried state is a transportable intermediate state that is between a wet print image directly after printing and the predetermined final drying state;
• print to a second side of the recording medium with a liquid second color separation;
• and
• jointly dry the first color separation in the pre-dried state and the liquid second color separation to entirely achieve the predetermined final drying state for both the first and second color separations.
