Check printer for your own check stock: payee, amount, words and stubs — the bank numbers stay on the paper

Check-writing services charge $15–30 a month to print what is, in the end, a payee, an amount and a memo. This page lays those out on standard voucher or three-per-page check stock — the stock your bank printed with your routing and account numbers and the MICR line. Because the page prints no bank numbers at all, it can only ever produce a check on stock you already hold. Amounts are spelled out automatically; stubs can carry the pay period. Preview free; a batch of any size prints for $4.99.

How it works

  1. Load your bank's pre-printed check stock (voucher-style with the check on top, or three-up wallet style) in the printer.
  2. Enter the payees and amounts; the number-to-words line and the check numbers are filled in.
  3. Print at 100% scale (no “fit to page”). Sign the checks.

Why no MICR line

Printing a full check on blank stock — routing number, account number, the magnetic MICR characters — is exactly how check fraud works. This tool does not do it. Everything identifying the account is already on the stock the bank issued to you, so the printout is useless to anyone else.

Frequently asked

Will the fields line up with my stock?

The layouts match the common QuickBooks/Intuit voucher and 3-up formats. Print one page on plain paper first and hold it against the stock; adjust the printer margins if needed.

Can I print a check from my bank account without stock?

Not here. Order stock from your bank or a check printer — it costs a few cents a check.

Payroll checks?

Put the pay period and net pay in the stub text, or run payroll in the payroll ledger, which produces the stub and this check in one step.
