Is it necessary to use an envelope feeder to print the business size and raised line checks? -- Barbara Jones -----Original Message----- From: moneytalks-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:moneytalks-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of TERRIE TERLAU Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 8:24 AM To: moneytalks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [moneytalks] Re: Print checks? Andy, Instead of Quicken-type checks which are pricy, there are two alternatives, one costing very little more than wallet checks. 1. Most banks sell a business-sized check in a check-book. This check is almost as big as a business envelope. It usually does not have a stub to tear off. Its fields are just farther apart. This check option allows you to keep track of check number yourself because remaining checks stay in the book. 2. A more costly, but neat, option is the large print, raised-line check. This is the same size as the business check above, but has raised lines and raised print. Money Talks supports this as well. These checks are in a book. Most banks have them, but they don't know it until you go through the bank's big book of check types and styles with them ― and then they are amazed to find it there. It is a more expensive option, though. Personally, I don't like the 3-to-a-page checks because I have to keep track of partial pages of checks when I write only one. However, a number of people, some on this list, find such checks to work well. Terrie Mary T.
