You can specify different ink options for the front and the back of the form.

Binding Options

Carbonless Invoice Receipt Books

NCR booklets for receipt forms and invoice forms are very handy as a copy of the form can be easily torn from the booklet and given to the customer, while leaving a master in the booklet for the business. Pages are optionally perforated for easy removal. A sturdy cover wrap maintains the booklet’s integrity and can be inserted between forms to prevent transfer when completing the form.

Numbering

NCR forms can be numbered for essential record-keeping. Just specify red or black ink and the starting number and all forms will be numbered sequentially.
