I also bought an MICR refill kit to put into an old cartridge for my Laserjet printer from someone on e-bay for $30 shipped. I think it is normally more like $20 a box online. I bought two boxes of 750 checks when Office Depot was liquidating their stock for $2.50 a box (The VersaCheck 2007 software was includes but it is not the current version - still works fine though).
Now that the template is formatted and set in the designer, I just duplicate it, change the bank name and routing/account numbers and I have a new template ready to go for another account (and I already know Quicken's printing will fall in the right spots). This way you can move all of Quicken's lines up - as a unit - to get the memo line off the account numbers.Īnother advantage of this setup is that I can print checks for any of my accounts (or any new accounts if I choose to change banks) without having to throw out blank checks that I paid for. So, I had Quicken print a check onto the blank checkstock and then used the designer to place the fields on the actual check to match where Quicken printed it. The advantage to this is that using their check designer you place the fields where you want them on the page. Currently I use VersaCheck 2007 and am using their wallet style checks (3 to a page). The way I deal with it is that I actually print my own checks onto blank checkstock. What you have found is similar to my experience as well.
