At PrintMagic, you can choose to print your NCR Forms or Carbonless Business Forms in full color(CMYK) print on the front or just in one color – (1/0) as black print. The 1/0 means black ink only. The Artwork file may be converted to grayscale (if required) before printing which may result in print issues.

Note: Only one artwork file or design shall be printed on the NCR Form.

Our NCR forms can be imprinted on a variety of equipment, but we recommend you test your specific application.

We recommend at least 0.25" of space on the glued edge (short edge) should be free of ink. Check the orientation (horizontal or vertical) selected and design your form with appropriate spacing for the glued edge. Solid-colored backgrounds are best avoided, as they may affect the readability of the text and writing. Light colors are the best choice.

While we support the following artwork file formats: .pdf, jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff, eps, and png, we recommend pdf.

Yes, you can choose to add sequential numbering to your Carbonless Forms, or Custom NCR Forms like invoices, purchase orders, contracts, etc. It can help you keep track of your forms and make documentation much easier.

You may choose from a fixed designated 4 areas for printing the numbering. You can choose any of the 4 areas for printing your numbering - Top left, Top Right, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right. Currently, alphanumeric values are supported. To specify the areas, you utilize by naming the Column Headers on your CSV Data File with the corresponding Area Name.

To download a CSV Data File sample, click here. You can submit the CSV over email to contact@printmagic.com with your order details after placing the order.

Note: The CSV data file may contain up to 5 digits or characters for each record. See the example below. Example: 00001 or AAAAA or A0001. If you need leading zeros, for example starting number from 00001, then ensure that leading zeros are preserved in the document you have created before submission.

The default font, size, and color for the Variable Numbering portion are Calibri 14pt, black.

We recommend that the black color for the numbering be factored in while designing your artwork. If your design has a background or images that are dark, then the background image in the numbering areas needs to be knocked out (KO), so that the numbers are visible.

While we do proof check the artwork file and seek your approval before proofing, it would be your responsibility to double-check and ensure the accuracy of your data in the CSV file be submitted.

PrintMagic will print the artwork based on your data file. For example: if your order quantity is 500 and your CSV data file has only 450 records, then only 450 NCR Forms with Variable Numbering shall be printed.

PrintMagic will print only the quantity ordered. Any additional records in the CSV Data File, shall not be printed.
