NCR Printing FAQs – Your Questions Answered

Traditional carbon paper requires a separate carbon-coated sheet between pages to transfer writing. NCR paper uses coatings already applied to the paper, eliminating the need for loose carbon sheets. This makes carbonless forms cleaner, more convenient and easier to use for everyday business paperwork.
