The 11 x 17 printout of an 11" ballot shows crop marks, fold
marks, etc. A portrait printout of the 11 x 17 proof will have text on
both the front and the back. The bottom of the portrait ballot will have
FRONT Card Seq# 1 and on the BACK Card Seq# 1. Using these clues, the
printer will have the FRONT and BACK matched with the ballot identifiers on the
bottom.
Looking at an 11x17 landscape ballot proof the ballot
identifiers are on the right side of the card, both FRONT and BACK. The
only way to have the text correct, as in a dollar bill, would be to reverse the
FRONT and BACK. Easy to make the mistake. You mentioned you are
reversing the image.
My suggestion is to print "TOP of BALLOT" above the crop
(cut) marks in portrait mode, and perhaps up arrows. In a landscape
ballot, "TOP of BALLOT" would appear on its side on the left side (the 8 1/2
width) of the ballot, the up arrow would be at the top of the ballot (the
length) pointing to the left. Another arrow could be at the bottom, again
pointing to the left.
