2.0 out of 5 stars What they don't tell you...., March 30, 2003

This review is from: MyChecks Standard Business Checks 3-UP (CD-ROM)

I use Quickbooks Pro which integrates nicely into the "MyBusinessCheckWriter" software program. I thought I would save money by printing my own checks, but did not realize the following: I had to purchase a special MICR toner for my printer so the scanners could read the checks; even with this there was still problems scanning and when you try to use them at a cashier expect to have problems. When I receive my bank statements, the check numbers aren't accurate because the scanners often will show a check with a five digit number to be a check with a 2 or 3 digit number. I tried to find window envelopes to match the checks, only to discover the address windows will not line up with any standard window envelopes and you can only purchase the right ones through guess where? When you add up the totals, you're money ahead ordering your checks pre-printed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful, January 7, 2003

The price on this product is attractive, but it will NOT work with Quicken unless you purchase additional software (from MyChecks, of course) to allow printing to odd size checks.

Basically, you print the check and payee information in one step by selecting a special "printer" that merges the data and sends it to your printer. This is complex and adds an unnecessary step to the process if you like to print blank checks then fill them out.

If you are particularly security conscious, printing a check in one step means you don't have blank checks lying around. That's a good thing. But it's not for me, nor, I suspect for most people.

Back they go.

These are advertised as compatible with Quicken and Quickbooks but if they are, I certainly can't make them work. The perfs are in a different location than Intuit's software can deal with. The printing will stagger off on the business 3 ups and also the business with stub.
