Carbon paper

This article is about carbon-coated paper for copying. For carbon composites in fuel cells, see Carbon paper (composite).

Carbon paper (originally carbonic paper) consists of sheets of paper that create one or more copies simultaneously with the creation of an original document when inscribed by a typewriter or ballpoint pen. The email term cc, which stands for "carbon copy", is derived from this use of carbon paper.
