Quality control

MICR printing requires constant quality control. Special
equipment is required to produce quality documents that meet
the X9.27, X9.13, X9.7, and ISO 1004 specifications. You should
develop a formal quality control program to ensure that all check
printing specifications are met.
Key factors for producing good MICR documents include:
• High-grade xerographic print quality
• Good character uniformity when viewed with back lighting
• Few or no defects
• Good fusing
• Good paper quality meeting xerographic and MICR
processing needs
• Good forms design
• Consistent printer maintenance
MICR documents should be printed only by operators who have
the proper knowledge and experience.
Banks use the following print quality specifications for MICR
characters:
• Horizontal position
• Vertical position
• Skew
• Character-to-character spacing
• Character size
• Voids or deletions
• Extraneous ink or spots
• Debossment
