What is Carbonless Paper?

Carbonless Paper is designed with a coating to help transfer information written on it to the papers beneath it. It is the modern version of the outdated, and often messy carbon paper options that used to be the standard for making duplicates. 

How is Carbonless Paper made?

The way Carbonless Paper works is through a dual process. The front sides of the sheets are coated with an invisible clay which is designed to react with a specific dye to form a permanent mark. The backsides of the sheets are coated with the micro-encapsulated dye necessary to make the carbonless paper and carbonless form system work, and when the top copy is written or printed on with a particular dot-matrix printer. The pressure enables the coating on the back of the sheet to react with the coating on the front of the subsequent sheet. The microcapsules break and spill their tiny allotments of dye onto the clay. And because the capsules are tiny, the print is very accurate and transferable down 2, 3, 4, or even 5 sheets, enabling multi-layer forms. 

Applications of Carbonless paper

Carbonless paper has many applications, especially in business workplaces. They can be used in duplicating all sorts of forms, documents, and invoices and can be used in an array of notepads, business registers, and even printing machines. 

What makes carbonless paper different from traditional carbon paper? Well, carbonless paper is comparatively stain-free.
