   Is there any possibility of causing damage to a dot-matrix
printhead from using very thick multi-part forms?
   I use an Okidata 292 at work and I'd like to use it to print on
a 6-part form (original & 5 carbons, on fairly light paper).
I know the last one will be hard to read, but right now I'm writing
them by hand, which is worse (it takes too long to get someone to
type them). I don't see any obvious problems, but you never know
with these new-fangled things (I use a daisywheel at home).
