Where are you going to find the perforated paper (I assume in 3 parts) so 
that you may easily separate the checks?

Someone one posted how "standard" toner would work as the check gets 
magnetized & instantly read, something regular toner can do (though not 
as well).  Occasionally standard toner may not hold the magnetism & cause 
problems but that was not as often as one might imagine.

Someone (Xerox?) was supposedly coming out with a small (~10 ppm) printer 
for small business to use that user MICR toner (supposedly to be made 
readily available at a reasonable cost), so that they could save money on 
business checks.
