Enkelzijdig

Enkelzijdig is a Dutch term that translates to "single-sided" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of printing, where it refers to a document or image printed on only one side of a piece of paper. This is in contrast to double-sided or duplex printing, where both sides of the paper are used.

The term "enkelzijdig" can also be applied to other items, such as a coin or a medal that has an image or inscription on only one face. In some technical contexts, it might describe a component or material that has a specific property or function on only one of its surfaces. For example, an enkelzijdig adhesive tape has glue on only one side.

When discussing printing, opting for enkelzijdig printing is often a simpler and sometimes more cost-effective choice, especially for drafts or internal documents where presentation is not paramount. However, for formal documents, brochures, or books, double-sided printing is generally preferred to save paper and create a more professional appearance. The choice between enkelzijdig and dubbelzijdig depends on the intended use and desired outcome.
