Researchers have defined two-sided markets as markets in which firms offer a product to two distinct consumer groups whose utility functions intersect (Rochet and Tirole, Journal of the European Economic Association, 2003).

The WorkForce 645 delivers print speeds of 15 ISO ppm (black) and 7.2 ISO ppm (colour) one-sided, as well as 7.5 ISO ppm (black) and 4.6 ISO ppm (colour)
two-sided. In addition, it features a
two-sided Auto Document Feeder, which simplifies copying and scanning
two-sided originals.
An additional benefit can be found in the two-sided printer's ability to customize messaging in receipts rather than dispensing unchangeable, pre-printed promotions.
