Abstract
An apparatus and method is provided for imprinting duplicate copies of a credit card receipt using a single-ply roll of paper. The paper can be either coated on a first side with a carbonless coating that contains rupturable microcapsules, each filled with reactive, colorless dyes, and coated on a second side with a resin adapted to react with the colorless dyes, or coated on a single side with self-contained microencapsulated colorless dyes and reactive resins. To include transaction information printed on the credit card receipt as well as information written on the receipt by the customer (such as a signature and an indication of the amount of any gratuity), the transaction information is substantially duplicated in two separate fields each on a separate portion of the credit card receipt. At least part of the two separate portions are then aligned and presented to the customer for completion. The two separate portions can be aligned by either folding the credit card receipt along a printed or imaginary line between the two separate portions, or by separating the two separate portions from one another and stacking the two separate portions one upon the other.
