Re: replace multi-part invoice form

We scrapped a txinax dot-matrix printer earlier this year that was used for
invoices.  (No more twinax--YEA!!!)  Our invoices print out of Future3 from
Infor which generates a spool file and merges it with an Adobe overlay.  In
a former life I did bills-of-lading that had been multi-part but were
switched to multiple copies of overlays on plain paper.  The truck drivers
just signed each one.  In both cases it was nice because you didn't have
the expense of multi-part forms or the worry of running out.

Need ideas for replacing a multi-part form printed on twinax printers
(Epson).
3 parts - office(white), driver(blue), customer(yellow) - paper is
carbonless.
Office copy stays in office, to match with driver's returned & signed copy.
Currently customer signs top form and driver leaves customer their yellow
copy.

This is not UPS or Fedex - this is low tech, low wage drivers.
Drivers & pickers pull their paper from printer, so must be easy load &
print.
Office people just enter the orders (5 - 7,000 month). This is food
delivery.

Managers like the idea of printing on blank paper, putting some color on
2nd & 3rd copy.
Leaning towards color laser 3 drawer (i know the consumable may rule this
out)
Office likes HP lasers....
They did already rule out (for now) colored paper in the correct order from
single tray).

I know overlays & form printing. I'm wondering how most sites transformed
twinax based
multipart forms into something else.
