This 8.5 x 11 Excel One carbonless paper is a 2 part reverse set built for clean duplicate forms on offset presses, high speed copiers, and other digital equipment. Each case includes 10 reams of pre-collated bright white and pink carbonless sheets (2,500 sets, 5,000 sheets) ready to run straight from the box.
Features and Benefits
Excel One carbonless paper is designed with high fiber content and less filler than competing stock, which translates to better runnability without increasing basis weight. That high fiber content gives these carbonless sheets excellent bulk, stiffness, and tear strength, so they feed cleanly through offset presses, high speed copiers, and other digital equipment. Less filler also means contamination free performance across longer runs, with less loose material building up on rollers and imaging drums.
At 92 brightness with a blue-white shade, this Excel One paper produces sharp, high-contrast forms that look professional and read cleanly. The bright white top sheet paired with the pink second part makes it simple to distinguish originals from copies at a glance.
Excel One is produced using NatureSolv and CleanPressCF technologies and carries SFI certification, providing documented environmental responsibility without any trade-off in press performance.

How Excel One Carbonless Paper Runs on Offset and Digital Equipment
Excel One is the one carbonless paper designed for trouble-free printing on both offset and digital equipment. High fiber content and less filler in each sheet deliver unparalleled runnability and contamination free performance on everything from sheetfed offset presses to high speed copiers and laser printers.
On offset presses, the stiffness from high fiber content helps carbonless sheets run straight through the feeder without curling or double-feeding, which means less downtime and fewer wasted sheets per run. On high speed copiers and other digital equipment, contamination free performance keeps filler residue off fuser rollers, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance time.
Whether you're printing invoices, purchase orders, or custom NCR forms, this Excel One carbonless paper is engineered to run reliably across every offset press and piece of digital equipment in your shop. You won't need to change material numbers or adhesives when switching from another carbonless paper brand, and the product is compatible with most standard forms equipment.
Common Uses for 2 Part Reverse Carbonless Forms
Two part reverse carbonless paper is the standard stock for any form that needs an original and one copy produced at the same time. The bright white top sheet takes the writing or print from pen pressure or impact, and the pink bottom sheet receives the carbon image through the CB coating.
Common applications include invoices, receipts, purchase orders, delivery manifests, service tickets, and medical forms. Any transaction where a customer receives one copy and the business retains another is a fit for 2 part carbonless sets. This 8.5 x 11 size is the most frequently ordered carbonless stock for general business forms, and the reverse white over pink color sequence is the most widely run.
If your forms need a third part, the 8.5 x 11 3 part reverse carbonless paper adds a canary middle sheet for a white/canary/pink set. For larger formats, the 11 x 17 Excel One 3 part reverse is available in the same product line. Shops running pre-perforated forms can choose 9 x 11 perf carbonless 2 part reverse stock as well.
Straight vs. Reverse Collation
The “reverse” in this product's name refers to the collation order of the parts. In a reverse set, the CB (coated back) sheet sits on top and the CF (coated front) sheet sits on the bottom, so writing or impact on the top sheet transfers the image downward. This is the standard configuration for most business forms where the top copy is the original.
Straight (also called forward) collation reverses that order, placing the CF sheet on top and CB on the bottom. It's less common but used in workflows where parts are assembled in a different sequence after printing. If your job calls for straight collation, the 8.5 x 11 carbonless paper 4 part straight option is available in the 2 part carbonless paper collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Print on Carbonless Copy Paper?
Yes. Excel One carbonless paper is specifically designed for printing on both offset presses and digital equipment, including high speed copiers, digital duplicators, and laser printers. The high fiber content and less filler give these carbonless sheets the stiffness needed for reliable feeding and contamination free performance at production speed. You can also write on carbonless paper with a pen, since image transfer depends on pressure applied to the CB-coated surface.
What Is the Size of 8.5 x 11 Paper?
The 8.5 x 11 size is the standard US letter format: 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall. It's the most common sheet size for business forms and office printing in the United States, and all Excel One carbonless paper in this listing is cut to that standard.
What Is the Difference Between NCR Paper and Regular Paper?
NCR (No Carbon Required) paper, also called carbonless paper, uses a chemical coating to transfer images between sheets without carbon film. The top sheet (CB) carries encapsulated dye on its back, and the bottom sheet (CF) has a reactive clay coating. Pressure from writing or printing breaks the microcapsules, producing a visible copy below. Regular paper has no such coating.
How Should You Store Carbonless Paper?
Store carbonless paper in its original packaging in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit at 40 to 60 percent relative humidity. Excessive heat, moisture, or UV can activate the coatings prematurely.
What Colors Are Available in Excel One 2 Part Carbonless Paper?
Excel One 2 part carbonless paper is available in several color sets, including bright white/pink (this item), bright white/canary, and canary/white. Visit the carbonless colors collection for more options. Three part and four part sets add canary, pink, goldenrod, and other sheets as white/canary/pink or white/canary sets.
Is Excel One Carbonless Paper Compatible With Laser Printers?
Yes. Excel One is a one carbonless paper designed for offset presses, high speed copiers, laser printers, digital duplicators, and other digital equipment. The better runnability and contamination free performance of these carbonless sheets mean fewer jams and cleaner output regardless of the method you choose.
