Carbonless paper is coated with two different types of chemicals:
CF or also known as front coating, and CB or back coating. The
chemicals are held in tiny capsules that are released when the
capsules rupture due to pressure from a pen or printer.
When CF and CB chemicals interact, the CF chemicals darken, causing
the image to appear on the CF side of the paper. One obvious way to
tell the difference between CF and CB chemicals is that the image
only appears on the front side of the paper, so there is no image
on the back of any paper. Because this paper produces images
without copying, it is called "carbonless paper."
Benefits of Using Carbonless Printing Paper
Simplifies the process of creating multiple copies, eliminating the
need for separate carbon sheets.
Saves time by producing all necessary copies in a single writing or
printing action.
Provides a cleaner alternative to carbon paper, reducing the risk
of smudging and mess.
Can be used in a wide range of industries and applications, from
business transactions to medical records.
- Environmental Considerations:
Often considered more environmentally friendly than traditional
carbon paper, as it eliminates the need for disposable carbon
sheets.
