    Question: Can I order 6 or 7 Part Forms?
    Answer: Yes. We provide custom quoting for 6 Part and 7 Part Carbonless Forms.

    However, we are unable to guarantee transfer on any carbonless form over 5 parts. This is due to the pressure needed to transfer the image through to all the sheets and with anything over 5 parts it may be difficult to write hard enough to transfer the image to all the pages.
    We have tested our product and suggest not going over 5 pages.

    Question: What is a Rush Order Charge?

    Question: My logo is in color on my file why does it print in black?
    Answer: When ordering your forms if you select black ink, you logo will print in black ink as a gray scale. Proofs will be done as color if your file is sent to us in color; however if you want the logo in color you will need to select full color printing for the forms. Except if logo is color separated as spot colors for 2 color printing then you can choose the 2 color printing process, and choose the colors desired.
    Question: Where can you place the numbers for numbering?
    Answer: We can place your numbers for numbering any place on your form. You must be specific as to where the number is to be placed, otherwise we will put the number in the most logical place.

    Numbering is available in "Black" or "Red".

    Question: What is nonstandard paper sequence / nonstandard file?
    Answer: If your form is any other combination other than the standard color sequence of 2,3,4 and 5 part; or if not all of your pages of your form print the same you will need to choose nonstandard paper sequence for different colors and nonstandard file for forms were all parts do not print the same. If your form is both nonstandard file and nonstandard color sequence you only need to choose nonstandard color sequence.

    The nonstandard paper sequence is in the extra services additional charges apply. When ordering there are six primary colors to choose from for your paper sequence;(white, yellow, pink, green, goldenrod, and blue) and although we currently do not have a drop down menu for each page you can instruct us at check out in the special instruction box which page is what color.

    For example if your form is a four part form and you want the color sequence to be pink, green, blue, and white; at check out in the special instructions box you would tell us part 1 is pink, part 2 is green, part 3 is blue and finally part 4 is white.

    When ordering a form with standard paper sequence; and contains different printing on each page you would choose nonstandard file; additional charges will apply in the extra services. If your form is both nonstandard paper sequence and nonstandard file we will need you to instruct us which page is which color and the sequence of the form.

    Answer: If you choose to have us bind your order in wrap around covers you do not need to choose perforation unless you need more than one perforation in the form. Wrap around covers include one perforation so the forms may be removed from the booklet.

    If you need another part of the form to be torn off then you would need a perforation, or if you want the form to have a stub on any side; then you would need to choose perforation as an additional option.
