FAQs
How many sheets of carbon paper are in one pack?
Each pack contains 10 sheets of carbon paper.
What is the total number of sheets in this product?
This product includes 10 packs, totaling 100 sheets of carbon paper.
Can this carbon paper be used with a ballpoint pen?
Yes, it can be used with a ballpoint pen, as well as other writing instruments like pencils and fountain pens. Sufficient pressure is key for a good transfer.
What is the weight of the paper?
The paper has a weight of 40gsm (grams per square meter).
Will this work in my laser printer?
No, this carbon paper is not designed for use with laser printers or any other type of digital printer. It requires direct physical pressure for transfer.
What is the size of the carbon paper?
The carbon paper is in A4 format, measuring 210 x 297mm.
Is the ink transfer permanent?
The carbon transfer is generally permanent on the second sheet, similar to ink from a typewriter, but it can be susceptible to smudging if rubbed extensively.
Troubleshooting
Faint or incomplete copies
Ensure you are applying sufficient pressure when typing or writing. Check that the carbon paper is placed correctly with the carbon side facing the second sheet. The carbon paper might also be nearing the end of its effective use; try a fresh sheet.
Smudging on original or copy
Handle the carbon paper and the papers being used carefully to avoid accidental contact with the carbon-coated surface. Ensure the carbon paper is stored flat and not creased. Allow written or typed documents to dry briefly before handling extensively.
Paper tearing or jamming in typewriter
While the paper is lightweight, ensure your typewriter is properly aligned and feeding mechanism is clean. Do not force the paper. If using with a typewriter, ensure the carbon paper is not excessively creased or folded, which can cause feed issues.

- Generous supply with 100 sheets included.
- Standard A4 size is compatible with most document handling.
- Lightweight paper ensures smooth feeding and transfer.
Cons
- Lightweight paper may be less durable for frequent handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply place a sheet of carbon paper between the original paper and the second sheet you wish to imprint. Ensure the carbon side of the paper is facing the second sheet. Then, type or write on the top sheet as normal.
Compatibility: This carbon paper is primarily designed for use with manual typewriters and for handwriting. It is not compatible with digital printers (inkjet or laser) or copiers, as it relies on physical pressure for transfer.
Care: Store the carbon paper sheets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature drying or degradation of the carbon coating. Keep sheets flat to avoid creasing. Handle with care to avoid smudging the carbon coating before use.
