How many of you out there in cyber space today own their own business? My guess is that almost half or maybe even more than that do own their own business. If you do own or manage a business, my guess is that you deal with checks on a daily basis right?
Now we get to my second question in this article, how many of you print your own checks? Again, my guess is that the majority of you DO print your own checks and knowingly, if you are smart about it, you are using MICR toner to make those checks secure.
Today we will be discussing a little bit about MICR toner and the benefits of using this type of toner to print your checks for your business. Maybe even some of you who are reading this and don't own a business will probably consider using MICR toner and printing your own personal checks to save you money and add a personal touch.
First we should provide an explanation of just what exactly MICR toner is, MICR is actually an acronym for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. The MICR toner is a special type of printing which is used for encoding, sorting and reading the checks and deposit slips at banks.
The MICR toner cartridge characters are easily recognizable by the series of numbers that are on the bottom of a check that the banks will use to process and route the payments. In using this specialized MICR toner, each and every font character is magnetically charged and read by a couple of very fast speed machines, which in turn will convert the MICR ink into the digital data which you will see.
Each check that is deposited into an account is sorted and read many times over by these high speed and high powered machines, so you can be rest assured that this MICR toner is very important to the whole process.
Now you might be asking yourself what are the benefits to you as a client using a MICR laser check system? Many people have said that they have noticed the following benefits since switching to MICR printing:
● They have noticed that the MICR laser check processing gives them a much higher and more thorough sense of security.
● They have noticed a reduction in costs because of the fact that they could control the pre-printed check stock, therefore reducing needless inventory.
● They find that setting up a MICR Laser check is an easy one-step procedure that will add the bank identification, payee info, signatures, logo, and finally the MICR line to the check, all child's play say these happy clients.
● The customers have also stated that they love the fact that they have the freedom to change, delete or add new bank accounts when they have to without having to order new check stock and waiting forever for the new checks to come in.
● The customers have also raved that they have found that they have much less exposure to check fraud then they had before.
