Is PrintCheck actually free?

Yes, PrintCheck is completely free with no premium tier, no trial period, and no credit card required. We believe small businesses shouldn't have to pay for basic check printing functionality. The app runs entirely in your browser, which keeps our costs minimal.

Where does my check data go?

Your check data never leaves your browser. PrintCheck processes everything client-side using JavaScript. We store template configurations on our servers, but your actual check data (payee names, amounts, bank information) is processed locally and never transmitted anywhere.

What check stock brands work with PrintCheck?

PrintCheck works with any pre-printed business check stock including Deluxe, Intuit/QuickBooks, Sage, Checks Unlimited, VersaCheck, and generic laser check blanks. We support QuickBooks voucher format, Sage/Peachtree format, 3-per-page business checks, and wallet-size personal checks.

Do I need MICR toner or special ink?

No, you don't need MICR toner. PrintCheck is designed for pre-printed check stock that already has the MICR line (the machine-readable numbers at the bottom) printed by a professional check printer. We only print the variable data like payee, amount, and date on top of your existing checks.

Is printing your own checks legal?

Yes, printing checks at home or in your office is completely legal when using legitimate pre-printed check stock with proper MICR encoding. Banks accept checks from standard laser printers. PrintCheck simply fills in the variable data on your already-valid check stock.

What printers work for check printing?

Any standard laser or inkjet printer works with PrintCheck. Laser printers are preferred for business checks because the toner is more durable and won't smear. Most businesses use entry-level laser printers from HP, Brother, or Canon successfully.

How do I align checks properly?

PrintCheck includes offset controls that let you fine-tune horizontal and vertical alignment by up to half an inch in either direction. We recommend printing a test page on plain paper first, then holding it up to your check stock to verify alignment before printing on actual checks.

Can I import check data from Excel or CSV?

Yes, PrintCheck supports CSV imports from Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Sage, and other accounting software. The import wizard auto-maps common column names and lets you manually assign columns. You can import up to 500 checks in a single batch.

How many checks can I print at once?

PrintCheck supports batches of up to 500 checks. For the 3-per-page format, that's about 167 pages. For voucher formats with one check per page, it's 500 pages. The PDF is generated instantly in your browser regardless of batch size.

Can I save my check data for later?

PrintCheck doesn't store your check data (that's a privacy feature). However, you can keep your CSV file and re-import it anytime. Your template preferences and offset settings are saved locally in your browser for convenience.

What is Check Printing Software?

Check printing software is a tool that prints variable data (payee name, amount, date, memo) onto pre-printed business check stock. Unlike expensive accounting software packages, PrintCheck focuses solely on the printing function—taking your check data and placing it precisely on your existing checks. Your checks already have your bank's routing number, your account number, and security features printed professionally. PrintCheck simply fills in the blanks for each payment, allowing you to print business checks in-house using any standard laser or inkjet printer.
