Benefits of Printing Personal Checks With a Laser Check Printer

If your one of the many people out there with terrible handwriting, printing your checks could be a valid option for you.

Did your mother think you would end up as a doctor because your handwriting is so bad? Do you find yourself wondering “Did I already pay that bill?” Do your children have better penmanship than you do? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you should consider laser printing your checks.

The benefits of printing your own checks are three-fold:

You won’t have to suffer through trying to remember a cursive “T”
The question of whether you wrote a check will always have an answer just a few clicks away
You won’t have to ask your child to fill out your check so it’s readable anymore

To get started laser printing your personal checks from home, visit your local software store. There are quite a few programs suitable for home finances. Quicken, by Intuit, the makers of QuickBooks, is one choice. If you’ve ever used QuickBooks in business, you’ll have no trouble learning how to use Quicken. If you have never used a home-based accounting program before, be sure to take the tutorial.

Quicken lets you write and print checks from your computer. You can even set reminders to remind you when bills are due, so you can avoid late fees. You won’t have to hunt for your checkbook on bill day, you can sit at your computer with your bills and a book of stamps, print out the checks and stuff them in the envelopes all at one sitting.

By using a home finance software, you will always have a record of what has, and has not, been paid. You will benefit by having a clear, up to the minute picture of your finances – no waiting to see if all the checks have cleared to balance your checkbook. You will have a stub, printed with the check that shows the account number and any details you enter about the check. You will also have the advantage of security features available only on printed checks, reducing the chances of your identity being stolen.

Laser printing checks at home has many superior benefits over hand writing them. Once you find a software package that does all you need, enjoy all the extra time you’ll have when you aren’t writing checks by hand.
