Answer 1

Go to a stationers and ask for it.

But it is to copy text when using a typewriter or hand-writing - you put it between the sheets of paper.

THe same shop will have a lot of different kinds of art paper to make a presentation look good. Which country are you in?

Answer 2

I don't know if you can still purchase carbon paper in a stationery store or not.

Carbon paper is a thin sheet of paper, usually letter size, that is black (or dark blue) on one side. If you put another sheet of paper over this (with the black side down), and a clean sheet of (white) paper below it, anything you write will automatically be transferred to the second sheet of paper.

People used to use carbon paper frequently, such as when a businessperson wanted to make a copy of a letter he or she sent. You can easily make one, two, or even three copies using a typewriter; any more than that, and the image will probably not come through.

Carbon paper is inexpensive and may be used more than once. Often businesses used to use carbon paper with their receipts, so that the customer would get the original, but the seller would have one or more copies.

Carbon paper has nothing to do with magazines.

Answer 3

A carbon paper is used for duplicating documents while writing the first copy. It is mostly used for copying a hand written document or note and the carbon paper is placed behind the paper and the writttttttting is copied on the next page.It is cheap....not at all expensive.........You can get it from any stationary shop..

Answer 4

I really don't know if carbon paper still exists but i do know that it was once used for copying things. However, any fabric store should still sell tracing paper (a close relative of carbon paper). It serves the same purpose.. copying things.
