You should print 28 boxes of 3-part forms on a dot matrix printer. Then decollate the bottom page and trim the right edge off of all of them.

You will certainly not regret printing/decollating/trimming 28 boxes of 3-part forms every month for ten years.

    Meh. Wake me up when you get a daisy wheel printer. Actually, never mind, the printer will wake me up.

    Getting a clean tear off the perforated ribbons was so satisfying.

    For carbon copy paper, of course. Inkjets don't work for that.

    I print so rarely I feel like the ink would dry out and I wouldn't notice until it was too late.
