Fan-Apart Carbonless Forms 2 part NCR 

Thank you for your demonstration! I am a 6A high school teacher in Oklahoma and my class runs the district Print Shop. I had my first order for carbonless paper and the district already had a press in the warehouse, so we pulled it out! You video was very helpful!!!

Greetings from Oklahoma! I own and operate a small print shop much like yours. It's eerily similar to mine. I work nights getting jobs out that came in during the day too! You can buy a Challenge Paddy Wagon for padding paper but every small shop I've ever seen has some homemade contraption just like yours. That's the first thing I did when I bought my shop was to build a padding press that would handle a large amount because we still print a lot of carbonless paper. I purchase most of my equipment from our state auction and have bought everything from offset presses, to digital duplicators, to folders and inserters, stitchers, cutters, addressing machines, and tabbers, I do a lot of direct mail. I maintain all my own equipment just like you. It's the only way I can compete and actually makes my margins pretty unbelievable! Can't tell you how many all-nighters I've pulled getting jobs out!

Thanks this was a good overview. I just had a small local biz come to me after their printer shut their doors. Never done them before, and will need to crash number. If you're dad's still around, compliment him on the padding press. Well done.

Carbonless is a large part of my business. I like the padding press your dad made

wow your family support on your company thats good... i still have many experience and not getting any support from my family.... u r very lucky person in this world

@04:35 Special shout out to the Double A Paper in the back. One of my all around favorite papers that is getting harder to find. Forms are fun. When I was a kid, my Aunt took me to the RR Donnelly plant in Lewisburg, but back then it was Moore Business Forms and I got to see the forms being made. They used rolls of paper for most everything so they'd load the rolls on the presses (offset) and start printing. They had a special number machine that would stamp in red sequential numbers if the customers wanted that. I was just a kid but I think they made up to 7 part forms. Back then they made carbonless forms that would be attached together and fan folded on a perf line. I remember seeing at an electronic parts store the machines they used for such forms. they'd load the forms in a metal box with a lever with one set of forms exposed and you could write on it like you would a clip board, then when the sales clerk was done they'd pull the lever and it would advance the form and you'd tear off the one you just wrote on and put the various colored parts to the different store departments and give the customer a copy. Things must have been more fun back then, you actually got to do things and more people had jobs because most things were manual and required someone to do the tasks.

Nice work brown

helping me out at work!! the ups store thanks you for your tutorial

Two questions: (1) Why aren't people using carbonless forms? What else can they use instead? (2) I need some desperately; what kind of glue is that and where do I get some?

There is a trick I have found if anyone ever has a problem with the sets not fanning apart all the way. This can be due to not jogging the paper fully to the padded surface, using the same brush used for padding glue, getting some of the leftover dried glue on the clamp re-moisturized and mixed in, or even sometimes using a non-compatible fan apart compound. Clamp the carbonless really tight and brush on really heavy coat and while it is still damp (about 10 minutes later) remove the sets and fan apart immediately. If clamped really tight they shouldn't come out wavy and believe it or not, the fan apart compound almost immediately bonds the sets together.

Hi, can you let me know why apply presure is needed? And what if i dont apply pressure?

I work for a small family own printing company. We do a ton of those orders. At least 1000 sets a wk or so. Love when I have to glue them together.

Been a printer since 1975, own my own shop. Directions say to skim trim the face, and use only 1 coat of glue. Shorter time until fanning apart in summer (high humidity) conditions. Like the padding press, have one Champadco commercial unit and two sets of boards (without the frame) for larger jobs. Still use a letterpress for perfing and crash numbering.

Very nice pafing presd

Do you know why a fresh ream of 2pt carbon less wouldn’t be transferring to the sheet below?

What Kind of paper do you use to make carbonless forms 2 part NCR.. Also can you do that kind of work in small printers??

This is probably a dumb question, but does each page print separate or does the printer pull them together?

Please can you teach me how to put cutting marks on paper?

What do you charge for something like this

Sir please how do you combine the duplicates and the original one ..

I watched a similiar video top this few seconds ago. It may be down to the person, but why do u wait an hour before letting the paste set? Previous person mentions they wait 35 minutes (Or thereabouts). I have a real interest in these Carbonless forms, as u say they are still being made *even here in Western Europe it is the case.)

sir can you give measurement how to make?

Greetings from Romania! How do you score your NCR? I print them on White CFB paper, with numbering and after that I score them and after that I stitch them. I am having problems on the scoring part because it sometimes picks more than one paper and I have to rearrange them.

How much pressure do you need to add, is it okay if the stack is a little wavy? Thanks

I used to print prescription and medical certificates for doctors and I deliver them separately. Do you know how to make a pile of 100 sheets glued so they will look as a book ?

Hello, is there any way to type on pre printed ncr 2 part form other than using a dot matrix printer? We use single use invoices but with the business growing I was wondering if there was a faster way. We currently work with typewriters, but with constant mistakes, voiding invoices, and demand increase, the typewriter seems a little outdated.

Hello Dan. Very interesting. If you have an order for 5 sheets and with a serial number. How do you complete an order?

Can you please tell me what type of paper to buy and where to buy it and also the name of the adhesive. Can you run through the printing process. Also what if you have to number them? I have a business of machine can I use that to print these

At 5:23, what is the special coating on the paper you are talking about?

Hi do you put white and yellow paper per hand on top of each other?

Is it a special type of NCR?

It's very clear that you know your stuff. I run a small alarm company in California. I have been looking for blank versions of this two part glued form for some time now. We use dot matrix printers for our service tickets so the tech can leave a copy behind. Our software fills in all of the lines in pretty short order to preprinted isn't needed. Ii am interested in knowing what it would cost to start off with an order of 500 forms. Is there a web site that I can reach out to you? If not can you message me through RU-vid with your company details, such as phone number? I would really appreciate it. Alan
