NCR CARBONLESS BUSINESS FORMS
NCR CARBONLESS BUSINESS FORMS
In printing, NCR stands for ‘no carbon required‘. Less known is that the acronym originates from its creator, National Cash Register. The paper is specially coated so that information written on to the front (top) sheet is transferred onto the sheets beneath. NCR carbonless business forms are used for a host of different applications, as we’ve outlined below.
Instead of inserting sheet/s of carbon paper between the top sheet and those below, the micro-encapsulated ink or dye within the NCR paper utilises pressure applied (either by handwriting or dot matrix printing) to replicate information to all the sheets in the set.

NCR Dot Matrix Paper

- The impact print head provides the necessary pressure to populate the lower parts in the set
- Typical uses are similar to those for NCR laser stock, shown above

Sequential Numbering
- We can add sequential numbering to NCR Business Forms

Perforation
- We can add perforation/s to NCR Business Forms.
- For example, where Part 1 (the top sheet) is designed to be removed from a book
