Rick, Some (not much) programming is required. Today your invoice program prints one copy of the invoice, which is likely in one huge spooled file with potentially tens, to hundreds, to thousands of invoices that get decollated, bursted, yada, yada, yada. You could modify your print program to print each invoice 'n' number of times. This needs to be one copy of each invoice per spooled file. The laser printer you pick needs 'n' drawers. (Lets use four as an example.) Drawer 1 contains while paper, drawer 2 contains pink paper... Your program as it opens each spooled file has to pull off an overrode to the correct drawer. (Many methods of doing this.) The result is that you will get all four of your invoices multi-mixed in color. Another alternative: As the invoices get separated anyway (typically), one to the customer, one to the factor (if any) you could print them in four passes. If this doesn't make sense, pick up the phone.

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.
