I'm familiar with that. Actually investigated it at another employer many years ago. It would be very labor intensive for us to go that route. And, the whole intent is to reuse existing printers.

At a previous employer (over 10 years ago), we found a supplier that had 3,
4, and 5 part laser multipart paper. We used our forms package to take a
single spool file to print the 4 copies distinguishing on each Customer,
Accounting, etc. With using regular plain paper, signatures have to be on
each copy, this allowed us to have one signature on the top copy and have it
follow to the others. There were different version of the paper to select
from depending on how the printer processed the paper. When I left there, it
was working well and everyone seemed to be happy with it.

Sorry missed the dot matrix part.
Get rid of multipart and print 4 copies :-)

On what type of printer? I do that too - on lasers. This is a multi-part
