What CHECKMAGIC is

CHECKMAGIC is Windows desktop software for printing checks from Quicken or QuickBooks onto blank check paper. It prints account and MICR information in one pass and supports logos, signatures, deposit slips, checks drawing on multiple accounts on the same blank stock, and blank checks for handwritten completion. Standard Windows-compatible inkjet and laser printers are supported, and all versions can run on a network. The Quicken edition supports up to 10 checking accounts; Professional supports up to 999 and works with Quicken and QuickBooks desktop. Professional is not compatible with QuickBooks Online. The Quicken edition costs $19.95, paid once, while Professional costs $95.95, paid once. There is no free plan or trial. Buyers can obtain the software by download or on CD-ROM. The maker says its check paper includes a colored background that reveals tampering, a watermark and endorsement information, and is designed for U.S. bank check printing. Email support is available at all times, with a toll-free support line at no charge for the first 30 days.
