PrintFirm uses high quality paper for its loose carbonless form printing. The “loose” part of the name does not mean the pages are literally loose. They are edge-glued for easy tear off. Another name for carbonless forms is NCR, an acronym for “no carbon required”. They are biodegradable and do not stain fabrics like traditional carbon forms. They work by using the pressure of a writing device such as a pen or pencil, and this pressure creates a chemical reaction between coatings on the carbonless forms.

PrintFirm’s loose carbonless forms are available in the following three sizes: 5.5” X 8.5”, 8.5” X 11” and 8.5” X 14”. Carbonless form printing is on quality 20 lb. paper. You have the option of carbonless paper with two-part or three-part copies. You have 10 color choices for the first color and 9 color choices for the second color. You also have an option to number the pages.

Loose carbonless forms are perfect for documents where a signature is required, since it is an impression of an actual signature rather than just a photocopy of a signature. Loose carbonless forms are also ideal for receipts and bills, and can be a good backup plan for some company records when that company uses digital record storage. Digital information can become corrupted, and if the info is added twice using separate methods, there is a good error-checking system in place.
