Rick, I suppose this is a question of preference but I'd have to admit that I think of this as an old-fashioned way of doing business. We finally eliminated our multipart invoice form about 3 years ago. Here's my logic - if your systems have the data of the invoice and if you can reprint an invoice I don't see any need to be printing multiple copies. Especially if it is for internal use. I'd be hard pressed to believe that a customer would want multiple parts either but I guess that is possible. So, not the answer that you are probably needing but we print our invoices an a 8/12x11 sheet and only print one copy. And even that is kind of old-fashioned. We are trying to do more with EDI and extranet functions (BillingZone) and never print the invoice. HTH. Michael Crump Saint-Gobain Containers 1509 S.

We'd love to produce the invoices from laser printers but I cannot seem to work out how multi-colored forms would be handled this way other than stacking multiple 8x11 colorized standard paper, piggy backed in groups of whatever, and then running the invoices with the number of copies you want for each one. That sounds completely dain bramaged to me. Is this old fashioned office edict a dying dinosaur? Are people just producing multiple laser copies, one form type, one color and distributing them...maybe with an "identification label" or something to indicate who gets them? I hope so or else I'd love to hear someone elses laser solution. Has anyone done a cost comparison between the number of extra 8x11 paper to the original 4 part forms? Thanks for the time.
