One of the pieces of spam in my mailbox today mentioned selling
"magnetic ink" for use in printing the MICR line on blank check

obviously did not go to this person's web site.

I am curious though. The inability of most banks to read
non-magnetic coding put a quick end to my experimentation with
printing my own checks. Has someone developed black ink with fine
enough particles so as not to plug an ink jet cart, or was this guy
blowing smoke?


Are you asking if there is such a thing as a MICR ink cartridge? The
answer is yes. If you are asking if there is MICR ink for an inkjet
printer, yes. Here is the first site I came upon, there may be
others. (Don't know whether this was your spammer's site).
