BLANK CHECK STOCK
Although not required, we highly recommend that you print your checks on blank check stock. Check stock has all the security features the banks prefer to see, looks much more professional, and is micro-perforated for easy separation. We sell a variety of check stock that works with Vcheck.
Vcheck supports either top check or 3-up business size checks. This PDF shows visual examples of the 4 types of business check stock the system supports.
MICR TONER
While not required, the use of MICR Toner may greatly expedite the processing of your printed checks. MICR Toner can be ordered for almost any laser printer. Most modern laser printers allow you to quickly switch between toner cartridges so you can print your checks with MICR toner and then switch back to standard toner for regular printing.
Optionally, you can use a dedicated printer just for checks. If you don't have an extra laser printer available, we sell a complete setup of a brand new HP Laserjet P1102W loaded with a new MICR toner cartridge for just $229.00! The MICR toner cartridge alone normally sells for $120.00. This is a great deal to get you started with a dedicated check printer!
The cost for MICR Toner cartridges will vary depending on the model of printer, but will print a substantial number of checks due to the low use of toner per page of checks. For example, the MICR Toner for a HP Laserjet 1100 sells for $79.00 with an average page yield of approximately 2800 pages - that's around 8400 checks if you use 3-checks-per-page check stock.
