NCR Printing using offset printing machines

[Rockky Dev]

Can I use offset printing machines for printing on NCR papers? OR I should use digital printers?

You can use both!

Digital Duplicators do an amazing job with NCR.....

Offset is traditionally how NCR is printed. Digital, would have to be qualified (what type of "digital", laser, inkjet) and the make and model of machine. I would wish to see digital NCR print samples with numbering and test them before I would go with digital.

Shops do it everyday. With the numbering Software available there is no need for Crash Numbering. I am starting to show a small shop how to capture more profits this way and use the Letterpress for something else.

JW, I am not saying that it can't be done or that it may not be an everyday process. Please qualify the digital method (inkjet, laser, other) - and the make and model of machine in question.

Is it using traditional offset NCR paper, or a special digital version? If a special version of NCR paper, what is the cost of the media so that one can make a qualified comparison using an MIS based on the run length and other production factors.

In my perhaps limited experience, offset is the method of choice for NCR work - if this is changing I would like to be up to date and better educated.

Can you post in more detail please?

I did not intend for it to create an issue Lol Lets talk about the use of the NCR work for the end user. Give me an example of a given project. As for the machine, Xerox 242,700, and as for others I can't speak for them. If we are involving crash numbering or no additional processing other than padding, give me an old school Riso GR series digital duplicator. The production, and price per impression can't be matched from my research. Registration may come into question but I have yet to have a job rejected because of it. The ink drying is the big kicker on the Duplicators but in my experience it does best with NCR paper.

We were just talking about NCR paper today and for small press I have never seen anything perform like the old Heidelberg TOK. You had to know how to set the feeder up since there was no guide but once an operator figured it out that press could eat up some NCR work.

We have had problem on our copier with the back side of carbonless when you run it two sided. The toner rubs right off. This is the back of the last sheet of the set. Three part pink is the problem, 4 part goldenrod and 2 part the back side of canary

We were having a problem with the Riso marking from the feeder and we just started using 14" and cut off the marked end. That is why I asked for him to give me a job scenario. Every shop has their own fit and certain way to do things Lol.

We had this issue on our canon. The solution was to run the in reverse and face down.
