Continuous Computer Paper: A beneficial Solution for Office Stationery

If you are running a business you are probably aware that the administration part of every business must be done in an organised, neat and super-efficient way. Even though it serves the purpose of record keeping or distribution of payment and these two are not the aspects that bring you profit, you must invest in quality office stationery which will complement the professional look of your business. 

One of the must-have stationery you need is the continuous computer paper which facilitates the process of printing and organising documentation, especially if it is needed to be done in more than one copy.

It is often known as “Dot Matrix Paper”, “Tractor Feed Paper” and “Continuous Feed Computer Paper” and it is usually used with DOS-based computer systems that require a duplicate or triplicate copies of forms. You are in need of a thermal printer to print the continuous computer paper, therefore you are going to need a thermal ribbon which will enable the printing onto the 2nd, 3rd or 4th page. 

There are many sizes available of continuous computer paper, but the most commonly used is 11 x 15 computer paper (11’x 15’), the 11 x 9.5 and A4 Exact. You can find it in many colours and undertones as well, but plain white, colours coded and blue half shadow continuous papers are the most searched of. Regarding the weight of the continuous computer paper, you should choose between 60 gsm and 70 gsm. 

When it comes to the different uses of this paper, you should know that it has a vast range of uses. They are suitable to use as invoices, statements, remittance advice forms or any other form that requires more than one copy. Another important thing is to look for forms that are software specific including Attache, CBA, MYOB, Quicken, Sybiz and others.

You should also always pay attention to the origin of the material the continuous computer paper is made from because buying from unethically sourced producers is just another step in destroying the planet. Instead, opt for FSC and FEFC certified materials which are ethically sourced from Sustainable Forestry Plantations.  

Another important tip is to make sure the paper you are buying is tested and inspected for total quality control which ensures the highest standard of cleanliness, moisture control and perfect finish 

Finally, you can even choose from a large range  of pre-printed software specific forms to use with software such as Attache, Business Manager, IMS, IAL, Arrow, Micropay, MYOB, Quicken, Sage, Sybiz, Tyrepac, Unisoft, and Universal so you wouldn’t have to print individually the forms that already exist.
