Cheque Printer

Yes, you can print the contents to be entered in a blank cheque, issued by a bank, using a printer. There are different software programs that enable such printing, such as Excel and Tally. 

There are many advantages of printed cheques. First, it eliminates the need for handwritten cheque. Handwriting differ from person to person, and thus sometimes, the content written on the cheque is illegible. Next, printed cheques allow for cleaner written matter with no errors. A printed cheque is first proof read before giving the print command. 

A cheque leaflet is unlike any other paper. In fact, cheques are printed on special paper with security-based ink, as well as other markers, that are not allowed on regular paper printing. Cheque printing requires the use of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) technology). Check printers will now be able to print the characters that aid in document identification on the bottom of cheques as well as other legal records using approved magnetized ink and technology. Using MICR-compliant items would enhance data encryption and lessen the possibility of check fraud since MICR technology utilizes this specialist MICR ink and toner. In this regard, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) which is a nonprofit organization, has prescribed the criteria for the size of cheques. The cheques must be of the following dimensions of width in the range of six to 8.75 inches and height of 2.75 to 3.66 inches.
