Description
Continuous-form paper
is a type of printing paper which
consists of one or more sheet(s) of paper, perforated at regular
intervals so that sheets can be easily separated and also has holes
punched along each side so that the paper can be pulled through the
printer by a tractor-feed mechanism.
There are many types of Continuous
forms:
Stock Forms: Plain / lined / rasterized (zebra)
continuous form
Pre-printed / Bill Forms: using special design as
background / logo printed on the form
Computer Envelope Forms: continuous forms that are
glued and made like an envelope
Sample of Continuous form products:
bill forms, boarding pass, bank PIN# envelopes, scantron form,
certificates, and many more.
Carbon vs.
Carbonless
Carbon paper
(originally carbonic paper) is paper
coated on one side, used for making one or more copies simultaneous
with the creation of an original document. It is placed between the
original and a blank sheet to be copied onto. As the user writes or
types on the original, the pressure from the pen or typeface
deposits the ink on the blank sheet, thus creating a "carbon-copy"
of the original document.
Nowadays we have Carbonless
paper or NCR paper which is stain-free alternative to
carbon paper and works in a fairly simple way. Carbonless paper has
a multi-part form paper system uniquely coated to transmit images
from one ply to subsequent plies, with manual or mechanical
pressure, without using carbon paper. If Carbonless paper is the
answer to your needs, MG has the capability to manufacture
up to 8 layers of carbonless paper with variaties of colors (white,
yellow, blue, red, green).
