What is CheckPlus?

CheckPlus is a 32 bit Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 laser check printing software that interfaces with your accounting software systems or database to print checks from blank security check paper. These checks will be printed on a MICR laser printer with their layout, logo, signatures and MICR encoding in just one pass through the laser printer. CheckPlus provides a secure and cost effective check printing solution for all your check printing needs.

How does the system actually work?

CheckPlus automates the manual work associated with the check printing process by printing your checks on blank security check paper. This information is obtained via an imported file or ODBC connection from your financial management software. Decollating, bursting, trimming and signing are eliminated and, if self-sealing check forms are used, the checks themselves are folded and sealed eliminating the need for envelopes.

The existing conventional check printing processes call for pre-printed check stock to be loaded and aligned on the printer to print the checks. Once printed, these checks go through a decollator to separate the copies and the carbon paper. Next, they go through another machine that will trim, burst and sign the checks and, as a final operation, they are folded, stuffed in envelopes, stamped and mailed.  CheckPlus eliminates all these inefficient, costly and time consuming steps.

What are the CheckPlus competitive benefits?

Savings: Costs to companies using the CheckPlus MICR laser check printing solution are reduced by 60 - 70%. These savings are directly related to the reduction of personnel time needed under the traditional line printer methods, the elimination of post-processing equipment such as bursters, decollators and signature equipment; and the expense of managing a variety of pre-printed check stock.

Efficiency:  CheckPlus MICR laser check printing solution, using blank security check paper, can accomplish a large volume of check printing with a single pass through the laser printer. Bursters, decollators and check signers are eliminated and the number of personnel required for this operation is greatly reduced.

Some of these features are multi-level password protection, electronic guard on the PC, key-locks on the MICR laser printer, internal password protection for logos and signatures, and printer specific MICR toners. Additionally, the check paper is protected with copier void designs, prismatic coloring, chemical void stains, watermarks and other features. Security: A variety of software, hardware and check paper security features are incorporated in the CheckPlus laser check printing process to provide a check writing solution with rock solid security.
