FAQs on check printingIs any special toner required to print checks? No, at least technically anyway. A legal check doesn’t even actually have to be a check; it could just be a piece of paper that states that a certain amount is due for a certain person with an account number and financial institution of where the amount can be drawn. However, in all situations, this probably wouldn’t work as all financial institutions have requirements for the checks they’ll accept. Many times, using a magnetic ink is preferred since it can help deter fraud. Retailers and many financial institutions will use a MICR reader which will detect if a check has this magnetic font on it. If the check is read with a low strength, many will reject the check as a possible fraudulent check.
How can I make sure that a fraudulent check isn’t excepted? Although there is no surefire way to keep a fraudulent check from entering your business, there are a few measures that you and your company can take to try and avoid this. Some suggestions would be to have security fonts on your checks, keeping a good check stock and training your employees about such matters and how to look out for fraudulent checks.
