checks. Print
BossExpress (can print a signature on
the check and contains security features) will print the bank
information from within QuickBooks. Requires a HP printer and before
purchasing, decide if you want to dedicate 1 printer to checkwriting, or,
change the toner each time you print checks . Or for a
less expensive solution, preprint from blank check stock first with Versa Checkor

paper so that any modification of characters printed on the paper requires
the actual paper fibers to be ripped away.
