Carbonless printing paper, also known as pressure sensitive printing paper, is composed of top paper (CB), middle paper (CFB) and bottom paper (CF). It uses the principle of chemical reaction between the color developing agent of the microcapsule and the acid clay in the color developing agent layer. During printing, the printing needle presses the paper surface to achieve the color development effect. The common and commonly used color layers are 2 to 6 layers.
