Blank checks: security stock for MICR printing
Blank checks are security check sheets with no bank information printed. A MICR-capable printer and program add the bank line at print time, so one paper serves many accounts.

Frequently asked questions about blank checks
Can I use blank checks with a normal printer?
Only if you print the MICR line with magnetic toner. A standard printer with standard toner produces checks many banks will reject.
Are blank checks legal?
Yes. They are security paper without bank information; the bank information is added when printed for a real account.
What is the difference between blank checks and pre-printed checks?
Pre-printed checks carry your bank information and MICR line already; blank checks carry none and your printer adds it.
Who should use blank check stock?
Accountants, payroll services and multi-entity businesses printing for many accounts from one printer.
Is blank stock cheaper than pre-printed checks?
Per sheet yes; per finished check for a single account, pre-printed usually wins once MICR toner is counted.
How do I fill out a business check?
Date, payee name, amount in figures and in words, memo, signature. The pre-printed check already carries your business name, bank line and check number.
Can I reorder without re-entering everything?
Yes. Checks.net keeps your approved layout on file; a reorder is the last order plus a new starting number, in about two minutes.
How much do checks cost?
They are priced per check and the price falls sharply with quantity. Order a year's worth at once for the lowest per-check price; personalisation, MICR encoding and the proof are included.
