Printers for MICR Check Printing

We recommend that you print Mekorma checks to a dedicated medium – higher quality check printer using blank check stock. The printer should have the following capabilities:

• Speed of 45 ppm and up
• Two-tray capacity
• Recommended monthly printing volume of 5,000 pages and up
• Output capacity of 400 sheets and up
  

Recommended models

The HP M607 series printers combine exceptional performance and energy efficiency with professional-quality documents to use as dedicated check printers.
This printer series has a speed rating of 55 ppm. The 2-tray option makes it a perfect choice to print checks on one tray and overflows and remittances on the second. It has a recommended monthly volume of 5,000 to 20,000 pages and input / output capacity of 650 sheets / 500 sheets.

Mekorma in-house testing has been performed successfully on the HP M607dn model.

!Mekorma is not compatible with security hardware add-ons or on-board MICR fonts as are found in Troy Printers, so there is no need spending extra for features we handle at the software level.
