- Where are you going to find the perforated paper (I assume in 3 parts) so
- that you may easily separate the checks?

- Someone one posted how "standard" toner would work as the check gets
- magnetized & instantly read, something regular toner can do (though not
- as well). Occasionally standard toner may not hold the magnetism & cause
- problems but that was not as often as one might imagine.

- Someone (Xerox?) was supposedly coming out with a small (~10 ppm) printer
- for small business to use that user MICR toner (supposedly to be made
- readily available at a reasonable cost), so that they could save money on
- business checks.
