By printing your own checks, you can save both time and money by knowing what to do and what supplies you need for printing checks. There are a few important thinks that you need in order to print checks. While it is not always necessary to procure everything listed in order to print checks, it would be beneficial as well as more secure and cost effective if you invested in these important pieces. In order to print checks you should acquire software, a MICR printer, MICR toner and blank check stock. Before you begin to print checks you may have a few questions. We’ve address a few below.

What is MICR?
“MICR” is an acronym for “Magnetic Ink Character Recognition.” It is used to describe the characters and symbols at the bottom of a check. One of the benefits to MICR laser printing is that it saves money by allowing checks and other documents to be printed on cost-efficient blank check stock. Using MICR printing also adds a level of security because using blank check stock for your check printing needs makes it more difficult to alter your printed check.

Do I need software to print checks?
In addition to your accounting software, like Quicken, Quickbooks and Great Plains, you will need software that formats the checks to your specifications and then sends the check file to the MICR printer. Rosetta offers three levels of software to appeal to companies of all sizes. CheckStream™ automates the check printing process and eliminates pre-printed check stock, which can lead to fraud and tampering. All solutions are easy to use and can increase efficiencies in your organization. If you choose to print checks, finding the right software can make all the difference. Rosetta Technologies offers a great product for all your needs in printing checks.

Can I use a regular printer?
While it is possible to use a MICR toner cartridge in a standard printer, we strongly recommend against it. Because the MICR specifications are so rigid and a fee is imposed if the requirements are not met, choosing to print checks with a standard printer is a risky choice.

There is an intricate process that goes into re-engineering a standard printer for MICR application. The end result is a printer with additional quality assurance and security features that are geared specifically for printing MICR documents.

Do I need special paper stock?

One of the benefits to using a MICR printer for printing checks is that you can utilize blank check stock. This eliminates the expenses, inefficiencies and risk associated with purchasing, storing, distributing and tracking pre-printed check stock.Rosetta Technologies offers a full line of blank check stock for all types of check printing formats.
