While it is true that you can print on both sides and that the print will not wash off, when wet, the ink can and will migrate into the paper and adjacent maps. So I do not recommend printing on both sides unless you plan to keep the maps dry. BTW, you don't need a scale if you use Canadian topo maps, because they are overprinted with the UTM grid. This makes estimating distances easy, particularly if you use the metric system or are good at converting kilometers to miles.
