Are there blank carbonless paper for laser printer?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

First the reasons why I don't like the other invoice forms. The
invoice books sold by Staples don't have my company name on it. Print
shops can add my company logo but ask for a minimum of 5000 sets when
I need no more than 200. Buying a dox matrix printer is unlikely due
to limited office space and technical know-how.

Normally I type up the invoice on my PC and print a copy for my
customer. But sometimes I have to go to a customer's site and fill
the invocie there. That's when I need two-part invoice. One part
for my customer and one part for me.

So I wantend to print my inovice form on two blanck carbonless paper
with my HP laserjet printer. Then I can take it to a customer's site.
The two would work together when I write out the invoice. Also I
wonder if carbonless paper can damage a laserjet printer?

Carbonless paper is pretty thin paper, much thinner than ordinary
photocopy paper, and I think you'll find it won't feed through a laser
without bunching up and jamming in the paper path. I tried to print on
block paper, the kind that students use, and it just wouldn't feed.

A two part form has encapsulated chemicals that serve as a carbon layer.
The pin hits the forms and releases the chemicals which make the second
copy.

The second copy is a MECHANICAL process.

Laserjet printing doesn't have tiny little hammers that place the toner
onto the page and smash it to fix it permanently.

Without the mechanical impact, no two part form will develop an image on
the second part.

Does this hit home?

What I mean is I just use laser printer to print on a blank carbonless
sheet. Once for each sheet. Then I'll have a two-part form ready.
Then I just hand-write the order at a customer's site.

I found these Xerox paper at Officemax might work. Basically we just
copy the custom made form onto the paper. But the pack is expensive.
$200+. Again. I don't need that many.

Or you could just find some carbon paper! Print your two copies, stick
the carbon between, and write your changes.

They still make that blue stuff that's used in receipt pads.
