NCR / Carbonless Paper FAQs
What does NCR paper mean?
NCR stands for No Carbon Required. Tiny ink capsules on the back of each sheet burst under pen pressure and copy your writing onto the sheet below, without a separate carbon sheet.
What is the difference between 2-part and 3-part NCR?
A 2-part set (white and pink) gives one copy for the customer and one for your records. A 3-part set adds a yellow sheet for a third copy, usually for accounts or the driver.
In what order do NCR sheets go?
The coated-back (CB) sheet goes on top, coated-front-and-back (CFB) sheets in the middle, and the coated-front (CF) sheet at the bottom. Our pre-collated sets are already in the right order.
NCR Carbonless Paper in Kenya
NCR (No Carbon Required) paper transfers writing from the top sheet to the sheets below through microcapsules of dye that burst under pen pressure. It replaced messy carbon paper for invoice books, receipt books and delivery notes.
Understanding the parts
A 2-part set is white over pink: one copy for the customer, one for your records. A 3-part set adds yellow or green for a third copy, typically for accounts or the driver. Sheets must be kept in order — CB (coated back) on top, CFB (coated front and back) in the middle, CF (coated front) at the bottom.
