What is a 3 part Legal size 8-1/2"x14" carbonless form?

A 3 part carbonless form is a business form consisting of three sheets of specially coated paper which is printed with same image and requires pen pressure to transfer the hand written image on the top copy to the underlying printed copies by a chemical reaction of the special carbonless coatings.  Firm pressure yields the best results when writing on 3 part carbonless forms.  Multi-part carbonless paper forms have gained popularity by eliminating the need for messy carbon papers in between printed sheets, hence the name "carbonless" printing.  Printing carbonless forms offer substantial savings over messy outdated carbon paper, and the printing of carbonless forms is much better in quality and produced quicker allowing for faster ship times.
