I'm wanting a DIY solution: to use a mono laser printer, with a different colour paper just for the front 2 pages and the back 2. (All pages are printed on.) Maybe the simplest solution then may be to produce a 20-page booklet, i.e. the normal 16 pages on white paper plus an extra cover made up of local frames, 2 pages at the top of the A4 sheet and a duplicate 2 at the bottom? It's always easier to expand material than to edit it down - we could even fill in with pictures or add notes/scribbling room!
Yes that's one way - do your imposition by hand using frames.Another is to have a separate 4 page document for the covers, and use booklet printing on it, I believe the booklet imposition format is clever enough to realise that you only have 4 pages and double them up on paper.
And again, if you know the page numbers of what appears on the cover sheet, enter them as a print range and OP should then print just them on the sheet of paper.
