Unless you use a special ink, you're going to make your bank VERY
unhappy. That routing information on the bottom of the check is
expected to be printed with a magnetic ink.
I remember seeing a blurb about a toner that could be used with a
standard laser printer to produce acceptable results, but it was very
expensive. I don't recall seeing any ads for magnetic ink-squirter
juice.

Where are you going to find the perforated paper (I assume in 3 parts) so that you may easily separate the checks? >Unless you use a special ink, you're going to make your bank VERY >unhappy. That routing information on the bottom of the check is >expected to be printed with a magnetic ink. 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. >I remember seeing a blurb about a toner that could be used with a >standard laser printer to produce acceptable results, but it was very >expensive.

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. -- leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
