Carbonless Copy Paper Debris
This is from an environmental tapelift in an
office where large numbers of carbonless paper forms are
processed.
Transmitted Off Crossed Circular Polarized Light
Definition/Function:
Carbonless copy paper relies on a chemical reaction to produce a color. One side of the
sheet of paper is coated with micro-capsules of one
reagent and the facing side of the adjacent sheet of paper is coated with the other
reagent. Pressure ruptures the micro-capsules and the resulting
reaction produces the color copy of the pressure pattern.
