'two spare copies' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'initial crept out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'initial'+'crept'='initialcrept'
'initialcrept' anagrammed gives 'IN TRIPLICATE'.

'with' is the link.
