Printer paper

[maxl]

Does anybody know if there is some sort of carbon paper that goes into laser printers?

Im sorry but maybe I cant think of this in the right context, but that has got to be the dumbest question I have ever read!



Please dont take that the wrong way. Im not trying to be rude. It was just kind of funny to think about since that is what printers are for in the first place.

Perhaps if you explained why you need carbon paper for a laser printer..........

In the app I'm developping I will need to print out shipping invoice in two copies, those copies have also info that will be entered by hand (signature, notes) by the driver. Right now on the system we have, It prints on somesort of carbon paper, there is not actually carbon between them but it's a white page and under a yellow page(kinda like what you get when you use your ATM card to buy something) those are printed with a pin printer but since the new system will be more visual, pin printer doesn't allow alot of flexibility for fonts and format etc.... So this why I asked this.

ok that makes more sense..



the problem i see with that for laser printers as that there is no weight of any kind used to print onto the paper so there would be no pressure applied to make the 'yellow copy' pick up the text. So in other words it is highly doubtful that such a product exists.

Yeah I know, I just thought I'd ask to see.

Dot matrix printers can print graphics and fonts, they just move into graphical mode which is slower than a dead sloth (or me on weekend mornings).

The whole way carbon paper works is through the pressure (i.e. tracing paper).
