According to Carlos E.R. <robin_listas@es.invalid>:

As others have pointed out, nowadays laser and inkjet printers are
so fast that it's quicker to just print multiple copies, each of which
is much higher quality than what came out of those old impact printers.

That's true, but banks have their legal reasons to not do that.

Basically, you have to manually certify that each copy is indeed a
veritable copy.

Where are the banks that do that?

I have bank accounts in the US, Canada, UK, and France. They all keep
nagging me to switch to online statements, no paper at all.

Also, you know, if I were a Bad Person(TM), I would print out two versions
of the document, then throw away the original of one and the carbon of
the other. Heh, heh.
