NCR Paper is the modern day equivalent to the old fashioned and messy blue carbon copy paper. The acronym NCR stands for No Carbon Required.
Essentially, it does exactly the same as the blue carbon copy paper allowing you to duplicate what you are writing, although it is the unique, invisible coating on the paper you are writing on that allows the copy to be made.
We currently use Giroform m ultra carbonless paper. It is a FSC Mix paper FSC C014541.
TOP SHEET: Which is normally a white sheet has the back of the first sheet of paper coated with micro-encapsulated dye (known as a CB sheet – Coated Back).
The bottom sheet is coated on the front surface with a clay that reacts with the dye from the top sheet (known as a CF sheet – Coated Front).
Any additional sheets required in between are coated with clay on the front and dye on the back (known as a CFB Sheet – Coated Front & Back).
When the top sheet is written on, the pressure from the pen causes the micro-capsules to break and release their dye onto the clay coated side.
As the capsules are so small, the resulting duplicate is an accurate copy of what has been written above.
