Question

How do I set up my file for carbonless form printing?

Answer

Setting up a carbonless form file is simpler than it sounds, because you only design the front of the top sheet. The multi-part layering is handled in production, so you do not need to build separate pages for each ply.

  • Design the top sheet only - the NCR layering is added during printing
  • Submit a high-resolution PDF - the most reliable print-ready format
  • Outline your fonts - so nothing reflows or substitutes
  • Set images to 300 DPI - keeps logos and lines crisp
  • Leave room for sequential numbering if you need it
  • Keep signature and total fields clear of the trim edge

If you get stuck on setup, the Help Center has file preparation guides that walk through the details step by step.
