Any copier and printer can print Carbonless paper.
All sheets are about the same thickness as standard
20# bond copy paper. However, unlike regular bond
paper, we need to know how your printer/copy machine
handles the paper.
NOTE: Without impact, the sheets can not be connected
into sets prior to printing. Just like offset printers
have been doing for years, you will be printing
each sheet individually. Padding into sets is an
option you will learn about later.
Carbonless paper comes to you
in the package PRINT SIDE UP. The UP side is the
one you want to image so when you write on the finished
set, the carbon action will work correctly. IF THE
COLOR SEQUENCE DOES NOT COME OUT CORRECTLY,
YOU CAN NOT
JUST TURN THE PAPER OVER!
Q:
How do you know which
to order?
A:
If all you need is two part,
the answer is easy. Standard two part only comes
in REVERSE SEQUENCE. That is to say, the
package starts out with a yellow sheet, then white,
then yellow, etc. If the sequence comes out of your
printer wrong, you just remove the yellow from the
top of the package and put in at the bottom on the
package. You now have a STRAIGHT SEQUENCE
package (White/Yellow). The two part is the only
one you convert yourself. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CONTINUE
WITH THE TEST!
For 3 or more parts, the easiest way to determine
what sequence you need is to follow the TEST PROCEDURE
below. It is important that you setup the printer
just as you will when you are printing your forms.
Changing the tray or opening the bypass delivery
can change the test results.
TEST PROCEDURE:
-
Take three sheets of paper and print "1" on
the first one, "2" on the second, and "3" on
the third sheet which will simulate "White",
"Canary" and "Pink" colored paper.
-
Open any word processor program and type "TEST"
-
Request 3 copies to be printed.
-
The first part of the test is:
DID YOU PRINT THE WORD "TEST" ON THE SAME
SIDE OF THE PAPER AS YOU HAND WROTE THE NUMBER
1, 2, AND 3?
-
If the answer is NO, start again from step 1.
-
If the answer is YES, pick up
the 3 sheets as a set. If the numbering sequence
is still 1, 2 and 3 you need STRAIGHT SEQUENCE.
If not, you need REVERSE SEQUENCE.
