Also known as no carbon required forms, carbonless forms help you create copies of agreements, receipts, and invoices by forming impressions as you write on them. They're the best alternative to ink printing because they have the following advantages.
1. Clean to Use
To know the value of carbonless forms, we first need to look at how carbon papers work and know their drawbacks. To create a copy of an original document, place the carbon paper between the original paper and a paper on which you'd like to make a copy. As you write, the carbon paper will create an impression of every letter.
The problem with carbon paper is that accidental presses create streaks on the copy of the document, making the writing on the final document unclear and very difficult to read. On the other hand, carbonless forms use special coatings or micro-capsules containing oil-based dyes to transfer your writings underneath paper layers only when you press the micro-capsules with a pen as you write. Given such a powerful transfer mechanism, you can create a clean copy of the original document without worrying about forming a smudge.
2. Less Waste
Many papers go to waste with carbon copying, especially if you have to produce many copies of the original document. That makes sense because you often end up with many smudges in most cases. More often than not, that only leaves you with the option to use new papers to redo the copies. It's not so when you choose to use carbonless forms. NCR eliminates the smudging problem. So you use fewer papers and keep the environment clean.
3. Easy to Use
With the carbon forms, you will need to use both carbon and the separator. So you'll definitely get tired when producing many copies because you must apply the separator and carbon several times. Carbonless forms require you to only write on them to produce a copy of the original document. This saves you a lot of time in a case where you have to produce many copies at the same time.
4. They Work Perfectly with Different Printers
NCRs create accurate forms with printers without overlapping, and they produce accurate results. Moreover, the carbonless forms are compatible with different kinds of printers, including laser, offset press, high-speed copiers, and digital printing solutions. All you need is to select the carbonless paper forms that work with the printer you have at hand.
Carbonless copying is more cost-effective than producing multiple copies using a copy machine. That's because you save money that could have been spent on ink and electricity when using a printer to produce many copies of an original document.
