FAQ
In the logistics, finance, and retail sectors, a faded invoice or an illegible delivery note can lead to significant operational headaches. Carbonless Paper (NCR) relies on a precise chemical reaction between micro-capsules and developer clay to create an image.
While it is the standard for multi-part forms, not all NCR paper is created equal. Variations in raw materials and coating technology can lead to performance inconsistencies. At Double Tree Paper Group, we understand that clarity and permanence are non-negotiable for our clients.
Why does carbonless paper sometimes fade or fail to transfer? The performance is primarily dictated by three factors:
1. Quality of Micro-Capsules (CB/CFB Coating)
The back of the CB (Coated Back) and CFB (Coated Front and Back) sheets is coated with micro-capsules containing colorless dye and oil.
The Issue: If the capsule wall is too thick, it won't burst under normal writing pressure. If it's too thin, it may burst prematurely during handling, causing background scumming or fading before the form is even used.
2. Reactivity of the Developer (CF Coating)
The front of the CF (Coated Front) and CFB sheets contains a reactive clay (developer) that turns the dye into a visible color.
The Issue: Low-quality developer coatings may have poor contact with the dye, resulting in a light, faint image. Furthermore, if the chemical balance isn't perfect, the image may fade over time due to oxidation or exposure to light.
3. Base Paper Quality
The base paper acts as the carrier for these chemicals.
The Issue: Paper with high acidity or poor surface strength can interfere with the chemical reaction. Rough surfaces may damage the capsules during the winding process, leading to "ghosting" or background noise.
We don't just supply paper; we supply reliability. Here is how we address the common causes of fading and poor performance:
Performance Issue | The Double Tree Solution |
|---|---|
Faint Image / Low Density | We use high-sensitivity developer coatings that ensure a dark, high-contrast image (Blue or Black) with minimal writing pressure. |
Image Fading Over Time | Our formulations utilize stabilized dyes and UV-resistant binders, ensuring your records remain legible for years (excellent archival properties). |
Background Scumming | We strictly control the curing process of the micro-capsules, ensuring they remain intact until intentional pressure is applied. |
Inconsistent Transfer | Our precision coating technology ensures a uniform layer of chemicals across the entire sheet, preventing "patchy" copies. |
Even the best paper requires proper care. To maximize the performance of your NCR paper:
Control Humidity: Store paper in a dry environment (40-60% RH). High humidity can cause the chemical layers to react prematurely.
Avoid Heat: Do not store NCR paper near radiators or in direct sunlight. Excessive heat can melt the micro-capsules.
Correct Orientation: Ensure the coated sides are facing each other (CB to CFB, CFB to CF). Reversing the sheets will result in no image transfer.
As a premier paper supplier in China, Double Tree Paper Group bridges the gap between top-tier manufacturing and global demand.
Premium Raw Materials: We source 100% virgin wood pulp and high-grade chemicals to ensure the base paper is smooth, bright, and chemically inert.
Advanced Coating Technology: Our manufacturing partners utilize state-of-the-art coating machines that apply the CB, CFB, and CF layers with micron-level precision.
Global Supply Chain: With a monthly export volume of 200-300 containers, we deliver to over 200 countries, ensuring your factory never runs out of stock.
Customization: Whether you need specific ply counts (2-ply to 6-ply) or custom sheet sizes, we tailor our production to your machinery.
Q1: Why is my carbonless paper fading after a few months?
A: This is often due to the quality of the dye used. Lower-grade papers use dyes that are sensitive to UV light and heat. Double Tree Paper uses stabilized dyes designed for long-term archival stability.
Q2: Can I use carbonless paper in a laser printer?
A: Yes, but you must use "Digital Grade" or "Laser Safe" NCR paper. Standard offset NCR paper may release chemicals that damage the fuser unit of a laser printer.
Q3: What is the difference between Blue and Black image?
A: Functionally, they are the same. Black is often preferred for a more "printed" look, while Blue is the traditional standard for distinguishing the copy from the original handwritten document.
Q4: How should I store unused NCR paper?
A: Keep it in its original wrapper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it on concrete floors where moisture can seep into the reams.
