Where To Get Security Paper For Your Laser Check Printer

When you decide on a make and model for your laser check printer, you will most likely receive some security paper along with your new investment.

This security paper is specifically made for printing payroll, claims, and other checks. They help defer fraud.

The security paper, as Acrom Solutions describes it, “has been "engineered and manufactured" that incorporates physical features imbedded into the paper itself to resist the document forgery and the copying of negotiable documents when these documents are printed on MICR Laser printers. The paper is fully compliant with the physical paper standards of weight, grain direction, moisture content etc. for MICR Laser printers but has additional "chemical and fiber fraud resistant features" built into the paper during the manufacturing process. Plain laser printer paper meets the physical standards of the Laser printer but does not possess any of the capabilities of fiber, chemical, or external processes that make "security paper" fraud resistant and tamper proof.

Security paper provides assistance to a financial institutions "back office processing" of checks by making check fraud tampering attempts physically obvious to the institutions check review personnel and prompts the reviewer to look at the document more closely for any form of tampering prior to the check being cleared for payment by the institution. The features themselves cannot be readily copied or reproduced via conventional reproduction processes. Security papers are a major preventative in stopping forged checks from being cleared and paid against business accounts”.

They will probably make it very easy for you as well. They want your business, and for you to keep coming back to them for your security check paper.

You can find security paper at Staples, Office Depot, Wal-Mart, and more. Mom always said shop around for the best deal, and never pay retail price.
