Carbonless paper from Oji Paper (Thailand) Ltd. is a premium-quality product providing clear-cut and high-density image which sustains over an extended period of time. The image formation process occurs from colorless dyes contained within microcapsules coated on the back side of the CB paper. When the CB paper is used with dot matrix printers, typewriters or handwriting; pressure will break microcapsules. Colorless dyes in microcapsules will come out and make chemical reaction with color developer coated on the surface of the CF paper. There are 3 major types of carbonless paper which are coated back or CB, coated front or CF and coated front & back or CFB. In order to produce CB paper, microcapsules containing pigments are coated at the back side of base paper. As for CF paper, color developers are coated at the front side of base paper. CFB paper is coated by chemicals on both front and back sides.
Carbonless paper from Oji Paper is well accepted and highly trusted by customers in Thailand and more than 50 countries in America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa due to its excellent image quality, copying capability and protection of smudge occurrence from normal handling and usage. Our carbonless paper can be used to generate high-quality image on multiple plies of paper. The image capability is hardly affected by moisture, light, or heat. The developed image hardly fades out, being maintained as original for long time, as far as it is filed and stored under the normal conditions. Our carbonless paper also realizes remarkable printability, runnability and covertability because of its excellent stiffness and dimensional stability. The paper retains its appearance, substance and uniformity throughout its length resulting from Oji Paper’s unique technological know-how in every working stage.
