It is a fact that carbon papers have lost a lot of relevance after the coming of digital scanners and printers. Now it is possible to produce dozens of copies of a document within a few minutes with a click of a few buttons. Carbon papers are manufactured in much fewer quantities than they used to be a couple of decades ago. But there are still some areas where carbon papers are necessary. For those who cannot carry around a computer with them, carbon papers are still useful for making copies of documents. You will also find them in some printers to get multiple copies at the same time.
