Why should anyone want to print on the back of photo paper? To make greeting cards!
Ive tried different combinations, pigment and dye ink, for Epson and Canon. Papers by Epson and Sihl. But the back of photo papers are simply not printable. The ink takes hours to dry and then it still can be rubbed of easily.
And all papers seem to have the same kind of coating on the back.
Of course there is double sided paper, but only from expensive brands. And Ilford, for instance, asks double the price for their double sided paper.
Writing with a bal pen on it isnt easy and doesnt look good. The only solution I can think of is using a felt pen that is made for writing on CDs.
