NCR Books
NCR (No Carbon Required) Paper.
We print lots of these books every month. They are numbered and the top copies perforated with the last copy in the book not being perforated. They are also numbered for control purposes. This also known as carbonless paper in other countries. How this work is the paper is coated with an ink releasing coating on the back of the paper and the copy has an ink absorbing coating on the front. 
The middle sheets have the coating both front and back. While the last sheet in the set is coated only on the front. When the books are duplicate we just use a CB sheet and a CF sheet. When 3 or more copies are needed we print on CFB paper. This is specially made paper and our current house brand is Reacto manufactured by Koehler and can be ordered in several colours. White yellow blue green and pink are the colours available. Most books are printed on white for the top copy and the other copies in other colours. This helps with the business filing so you know the accounts copy is yellow etc. The most number of copies in a set is recommended at 5 More than that and it the pressure required to write through to the last page is to great.
The types of books done are time sheets, delivery books, VAT invoices Receipts, Quotes, Orders, Petty cash, Requistions etc. Let us know what we can do for you. Now the clever chaps have also invented a NCR glue. This glue is activated by the coatings so that the sets separate where there is no coating. This is useful for forms which are given out for filling in where copies are required or have to be signed off by several different departments. The other popular forms are the continuous forms used in dot matrix printers.
With our new press we now do the books in two colours as well as one colour. We also have inline numbering and perforating on the press which enables a quicker turnaround.
