• MICR toner (Magnetic Toner) is necessary for certain types of printing, specifically the numbered lines that are visible on the lower portion of checks and deposit slips.
• For all other standard types of printing, the use of standard laser toner is required.

More Information About MICR Toner

MICR, also known as ‘Magnetic Ink Character Recognition’ is a specialized type of printing for the characters you see at the bottom of checks and deposit slips. That line at the bottom of a check or on a deposit slip contains information that the bank uses to properly route and process payments. Using a special toner called MICR toner, the MICR font characters are magnetically charged and read electronically by special readers which convert them into digital data. It serves as a deterrent to fraud, because a photocopied check will not be printed with magnetic ink. Please see our Toner Cartridges category if you're looking for toner to be used for standard printing.

Why Our MICR Toner Prices Are So Low

When comparing prices to our standard toners, you will see a slight increase in the cost of your MICR toner. This is because of the specialized nature of the ink used in the MICR cartridge.

Since MICR toner is what marketers refer to as a niche market, many manufacturers take advantage of this by selling the toners at a much higher profit margin. In other words, if a standard cartridge costs $50 to make and they sell it for $75 and the MICR toner costs $60 to make, instead of increasing their price to $90, they may increase it to $110.00 This is because in a niche market, the limited availability allows for higher margins.

Knowing this to be true, we have negotiated with our manufacturers to give us the same volume discount price for the MICR toner that we normally get for our standard cartridges. The end result is that because we deal with the manufacturer direct and because we have negotiated a terrific price for the product, we are able to provide you with a high quality MICR toner that few in the industry can compete with. Our discount MICR toner price will entice you to buy and our high quality products and personal touch customer service will bring you back for more!
