This is a really great product for people who are tired of spending high dollars on bank checks. I've been using these checks and this software for years. The steps for entering your bank data in order for it to print on your check is very simple. You can print checks to carry around with you so that they can be handwritten in stores, etc. and you can print check amounts and vendor names with your various computer programs, i.e. Quick Books, Quicken, etc. You can put clip art on your checks, maybe a Christmas Tree at Christmas and so on. I get a lot of compliments from store merchants when using these checks, but my main objective for using them is the BIG SAVINGS !!!

This was advertised to work with the mac os, it doesn't. The disk doesn't even say it is mac os compatable. I have used there products before on pcs and they work great. False advertising!

This software provides a nifty and practical way to customize your own personal checks, rather than purchase pre-printed or bank checks. I went to an office supply store to purchase the actual black check supply, for around twenty-two bucks for 750 checks, and printed out my own quickly and simply using Windows 98 and an inkjet printer. Someone else who uses the same software gave me the idea of printing my photo on the checks as a customizing idea, as she did herself. Nice idea, I think, or perhaps a nice background, using a favorite photo.

I ran into one stumbling block when attempting to enter my bank account information in the step-by-step on-screen process; I had NO old checks from my account, and the setup requires that you enter the little hyphenated number which is found near the center of your checks. Upon contacting my financial institution for this number, I was disappointed to find that a representative there was unwilling to give me that simple, non-confidential information. It just so happened that while insisting to her that I needed it for printing my new personalized checks (as she insisted I only need the routing # and account #), I happened to see that it was printed on my deposit slips, which I still had left. In other words, if for some reason you too have no checks available, simply check a deposit slip from your account if you have one, and all the information will be there.
