Explanation

Impact printers (such as dot matrix printers) strike an inked ribbon against paper and can print through multi-part (carbon or carbonless) forms in a single pass, naturally producing duplicate or triplicate copies simultaneously. This is the most cost-effective and effortless method for creating duplicates. Inkjet and laser printers would need to print each copy as a separate job, doubling print time and consumable costs. Thermal printers use heat-sensitive paper and cannot print through multi-part forms. Impact printers are commonly used in environments like warehouses, restaurants, and shipping where multi-part forms are required.
