FAQs on check printing 2
What kind of paper-based security features would
most likely work best?
The following is a list of general guide for check stock security
features:
Artificial Watermarks - White on white printing generally on the
back reveals words or patterns when held at an angle. You should state
on the front of the check that this feature is present. Watermarks don’t
show up when copied.
Laid Lines - Unevenly spaced background lines that make cut and
paste alterations difficult.
Void Pantograph - Background printing of the word VOID or COPY
which appears on photocopies. Some paper suppliers offer enhanced
versions of pantographs which provide protection from the latest in
color copier technology.
Chemical Additives - If an ink eradicator (bleach, acetone, etc.)
is applied to the document, either the word VOID appears, or the
eradicator creates a permanent stain.
Numbered Check Stock - Sequential numbering printed in dye that
penetrates to the reverse side of the check can be used to verify
authenticity. This number may or may not relate to the check serial
number. This also provides for inventory control of blank check stock.
However, this should not limit your consideration for other features as
these features aren’t an all-inclusive list. For more help, getting
consultation with a local paper supplier may help.
What elements of a check are legally required?
All checks should include 1) The date the check is
written, 2) The amount of the check, 3) The Payee (Person whom the check
is made out to), 4) Signature of the paying person, and 5) the financial
institution name.
