DocuGard Blue/Green Premier Prismatic Middle Security Checks - 500

In this review the DocuGard Blue/Green Premier Prismatic Middle High Security Check Paper is assessed for small businesses and bookkeepers who print their own payroll or vendor checks. The bottom line: these checks are for anyone who needs reliable, MICR-compatible blank checks with layered anti-fraud features and good compatibility with Quicken, QuickBooks and other accounting packages. The pack of 500 sheets makes it practical for moderate-volume use, while the 13 security features are the single biggest reason to choose this stock over plain check paper.

Key Features

• 13 Security Features: A comprehensive set of front and back protections helps deter alteration, copying and casual fraud attempts.
• Middle check format: Checks are placed in the middle of the 8.5 x 11 sheet so they work with common payroll and check-printing layouts and standard MICR readers.
• Printer and software compatibility: Designed to print cleanly with laser and inkjet printers and works with QuickBooks, Quicken and popular accounting software.
• Prismatic background and heat-sensitive ink: Two-toned prismatic printing and thermally reactive ink reveal attempts to erase or copy checks.
• Back security features: Microtext, anti-splice backing and a coin-reactive watermark offer verification tools banks and businesses can use.
• Made in USA: Produced from domestically sourced, environmentally friendly paper for consistent quality and supply.

Who It's For

This paper is best for small to mid-size businesses, accountants, and payroll providers who need to print batches of secure checks in-house and want compatibility with common check-printing software and MICR printers. It suits offices that value layered physical security and a professional appearance for client or vendor payments.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require custom preprinted logos or forms from a vendor, or businesses that need single-sheet check formats other than a middle check layout. If you need tear-off voucher-style checks, verify layout needs before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 500-sheet pack offers value and reduces reordering frequency for regular use.

Cons
