Q. What is cheque size for printing?

Answer

A cheque leaflet is unlike any other paper. In fact, cheques are printed on special paper with security-based ink, as well as other markers, that are not allowed on regular paper printing. Cheque printing requires the use of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) technology). Check printers will now be able to print the characters that aid in document identification on the bottom of cheques as well as other legal records using approved magnetized ink and technology. Using MICR-compliant items would enhance data encryption and lessen the possibility of check fraud since MICR technology utilizes this specialist MICR ink and toner. In this regard, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) which is a nonprofit organization, has prescribed the criteria for the size of cheques. The cheques must be of the following dimensions of width in the range of six to 8.75 inches and height of 2.75 to 3.66 inches.
