Carbon paper recommendations

In the 1970s I worked for a company in the newsroom and we would type carbon copies of all the news stories. As such we used a single piece of carbon paper over and over, maybe 50 or 100 times. It was wonderful carbon paper and felt heavier on the carbon side and on the reverse side it was slick, almost like it had a cellophane or thin plastic coating. I wish I could recall the logo on that carbon paper but I cannot so I am appealing to this august group for recommendations for really, really good carbon paper that can hold up to being used over and over.

Re: Carbon paper recommendations

Well, QBF, I can't nail down your logo, partly because I can't remember them either, but I used to use carbon paper repetitively like that, though I never counted. I just used it 'til it was too hard to read the copies. I still do use carbon paper to keep track of what I wrote in conversations. I guess my point is that probably any and all brands can serve like that today. You can feel the paper in the store for that plastic feel; the carbon paper I have at hand is the older paper-feeling kind, thoigh I have used the plastic kind you describe. Can't say I noticed a difference.
