Carbon paper is, in general, a thin paper coated on one side with a mixture of a pigment (originally powdered carbon) and wax. Impressions on the uncoated side are transferred by the pigment/wax to a piece of parer under the coated side making a copy on a second piece of paper.
Simple enough.
Carbon paper intended for typewriter use (see "typewriter" under antiques) uses a thinner tissue paper for the base and a thinner carbon layer to produce a crisper impression compared to pen & pencil carbon paper. Because of this, it has a shorter effective life. That is it takers fewer impressions before it wears out.
Pen and Pencil carbon paper uses a slightly thicker paper sheet as a base and a much thicker coating of pigment/way on the business side. So, while the impression transferred to the copy may not be as crisp (it doesn't need to be) the pen and pencil carbon lasts longer.
Short answer: it's thicker and lasts longer but doesn't produce as crisp an impression.
