How to print on carbonless paper It's easier than you might think to print on carbonless paper. The carbonless paper makes great order forms, invoices, and receipts, especially when combined with other printing and writing techniques like thermal-transfer printing, offset printing, and embossing. Here's how to print on carbonless paper.

What is Carbonless Paper Carbonless, or NCR (no carbon required), paper is a thermal printer that doesn't use ink. Instead, a special rollable wax (carbon) is applied directly to a sheet of paper. When heated, it forms an image in its melted state. Carbonless printers are useful because they can print multiple copies simultaneously and don't require additional software. However, these printers can be expensive and prone to error when used with certain systems. Before purchasing your next thermal printer, you must understand how NCR works and why it's particularly well-suited for specific tasks—like printing tickets for events or receipts for daily transactions.
