MICR Toner for Accounting, Tax & Payroll Offices

Who this is for

  • CPA and tax firms printing client or firm checks from QuickBooks, Drake, Lacerte, UltraTax or similar software.
  • Payroll departments and payroll services printing paychecks on blank check stock.
  • Bookkeepers running accounts-payable checks for several small-business clients.
  • Small business offices that print vendor or payroll checks on one or two printers.

Do I need MICR toner?

If you print the routing and account line (the MICR line) on blank check stock, yes. Banks read that line magnetically, and regular toner does not carry the magnetic ink. If you print on pre-printed checks that already carry the MICR line, regular toner is fine.

Popular MICR cartridges for HP printers

Lexmark, IBM and Source Technologies MICR are in the full MICR collection. Match by the cartridge number on your current toner.
