Ideas For Dealing With Check Printing?

Card image cap

Scenario:

  • Accounting has different people that deal with different accounts (both internal and external).
  • Each accountant deals with (mostly) one internal bank, and has to print many checks for that bank.
  • This is an overseas company that does business internationally: each bank uses a different format (size and layout) for their checks.

Current solution:

  • Each accountant has an inkjet printer permanently installed at their workstation which they use for each bank.

Looking for ideas:

I think this is a bit silly and inefficient.

  • So much space is wasted with an inkjet printer at each desk.
  • Printers are a huge administrative and maintenance hassle:
    • I'd rather consolidate this process into one (or two) printers.
    • I'd also rather switch to a laser printer instead of managing ink tanks.

But I also accept that this may already be the most effective and efficient way to accomplish the task - especially from the end user's perspective.

I'm wondering if anyone here has any similar experiences with variable check printing, and what solutions they might have used, or seen, or considered.
