DocuGard Purple Marble Bottom High Security Check Paper - Secure

Our review of DocuGard Standard Purple Marble Bottom checks finds them best suited for small businesses and bookkeepers who print checks in-house and need strong anti-fraud protection. The single biggest reason to buy is the extensive set of eleven security features, including a watermark, coin-reactive ink, microtext and hidden VOID messaging, that together make casual copying and alteration far more difficult. Printing compatibility with QuickBooks, Quicken and common desktop inkjet and laser printers makes these sheets a practical choice for everyday payroll and vendor checks.

Key Features

• 11 Security Features: A comprehensive feature set recommended by the National Check Fraud Center that protects against copying and tampering.
• Software Compatibility: Designed to work with QuickBooks, Quicken, Versacheck and other money management packages for straightforward printing.
• Printer Reliability: Guaranteed to run jam-free on desktop and high-volume production inkjet and laser devices, reducing interruptions.
• Bottom Check Layout: Checks print at the bottom of an 8.5 x 11 sheet with two horizontal perforations for easy separation and filing.
• Front and Back Security: Front features include Check-21 compliance and marble background; back features include microtext, anti-splice backer and a coin-reactive watermark for verification.
• Made in USA: Paper is domestically sourced and environmentally friendly, reflecting decades of premium DocuGard quality.

Who It's For

These checks are ideal for small to medium businesses, accountants and payroll processors who print checks frequently and want strong on-sheet security without outsourcing. The compatibility with MICR ink/toner and popular accounting software makes them a practical pick for in-house check printing workflows.

Those who should look elsewhere include organizations that require preprinted, multi-part forms or specialty layouts not supported by bottom-position checks, and buyers who need tear-perforations that separate flawlessly every time, since some customers report occasional perforation issues.
