Hi Tom

One solution you might like to look at is using one of the newer network
printer/copier devices. Many of these also have collating trays on them.
Ive certainly seen a couple of inexpensive $3000 one from Xerox
recently.

You could therefore using NCR type paper, put the top part in one paper
tray, and the bottom in the second tray, and when you printed have a
collated set.

As multi-part NCR sets only consist of three paper types, Top,Middle &
Bottom, if you had a three tray device you could produce multi part sets
up to the limit that someone writing on the top one would transfer
legibly through to the bottom one. Including different bar-codes
graphics or whatever on each sheet.
