First the reasons why I don't like the other invoice forms. The
invoice books sold by Staples don't have my company name on it. Print
shops can add my company logo but ask for a minimum of 5000 sets when
I need no more than 200. Buying a dox matrix printer is unlikely due
to limited office space and technical know-how.

Normally I type up the invoice on my PC and print a copy for my
customer. But sometimes I have to go to a customer's site and fill
the invocie there. That's when I need two-part invoice. One part
for my customer and one part for me.

So I wantend to print my inovice form on two blanck carbonless paper
with my HP laserjet printer. Then I can take it to a customer's site.
The two would work together when I write out the invoice. Also I
wonder if carbonless paper can damage a laserjet printer?

Try some other printing places. You should be able to find one that
will make less than 5000. 200 might be too few, but typing "two part
invoice" into Google immediately found a place that will do 500.

I don't see how a laser printer can possibly print both layers of the
invoice. You could do something cheesy like print clear labels with
your company logo and stick those onto blank invoice forms, but I'd
say you're better off just getting carbonless invoices printed at a
print shop.

Carbonless paper is pretty thin paper, much thinner than ordinary
photocopy paper, and I think you'll find it won't feed through a laser
without bunching up and jamming in the paper path. I tried to print on
block paper, the kind that students use, and it just wouldn't feed.

I don't think he wants it to. I think he wants to print his company
logo onto it, and then use the two sheets to hand-write an invoice.

A two part form has encapsulated chemicals that serve as a carbon layer.
The pin hits the forms and releases the chemicals which make the second
copy.

The second copy is a MECHANICAL process.

Laserjet printing doesn't have tiny little hammers that place the toner
onto the page and smash it to fix it permanently.

Without the mechanical impact, no two part form will develop an image on
the second part.

Does this hit home?

There is carbonless for laser printers, it's a heavier weight stock than
regular carbonless..http://www.graytex.com/blank-invoices.htm

Most cut size paper comes in a ream/package of 500 sheets, there is no
reason a print shop can't run off one package for you. Try some of the
quick print shops.

What I mean is I just use laser printer to print on a blank carbonless
sheet. Once for each sheet. Then I'll have a two-part form ready.
Then I just hand-write the order at a customer's site.

I found these Xerox paper at Officemax might work. Basically we just
copy the custom made form onto the paper. But the pack is expensive.
$200+. Again. I don't need that many.

Or you could just find some carbon paper! Print your two copies, stick
the carbon between, and write your changes.

They still make that blue stuff that's used in receipt pads.

Don't know your locale, I'm in the U.S. Detroit, MI. I buy the kind of paper
you're looking for at Millcraft Paper Company (was Standard Paper Company).
They use to ship, don't know if they still do. Their phone number is
313-963-9163. I don't use a lot and the last time I made a purchase, a ream
(500 sheets, 250 sets) was less than $20US. Ask for their NCR paper.
