As the flashcards documentclass allows use the option grid to make the grid of flashcards visible globally, i.e. on the frontside as well as the backside, I was wondering whether it is possible to suspend/intermit that option for every second page.
In other words, for practical reasons of printing off the flashcards on A4 paper and cutting out the cards, is there a way to only have the grid printed on, e.g., the front-side of the flashcards? This would avoid any misaligned black strokes, since the grid of the front- and backside are never perfectly superimposed on the paper.
Please find a MWE below (with the grid option turned on):

\cardfrontstyle[\small\slshape]{headings}

In order to achieve compatiblity with A4-printing paper I also created a customized MyFlashCardsConfig.cfg file,
\ProvidesFile{avery5388.cfg}
\newcommand{\cardpaper}{a4paper}
\newcommand{\cardpapermode}{portrait}
\newcommand{\cardrows}{4}
\newcommand{\cardcolumns}{2}
\setlength{\cardheight}{70mm}
\setlength{\cardwidth}{100mm}
\setlength{\topoffset}{0mm}
\setlength{\oddoffset}{0mm}
\setlength{\evenoffset}{0mm}
\endinput
that is loaded through the options of the flashcards documentclass.
gridoption for every second page. But it seems, the case is not hopeless and there could be a satisfactorial solution. – Diazenylium Oct 26 '20 at 21:19avery5371option with something else. I am going to edit my MWE accordingly. – Diazenylium Oct 26 '20 at 21:22
