Any option to print checks signed?

 
Threaded View
I am using Q2006 Deluxe and searching through help doesn't suggest
there i any way to have my printer print a signature on my checks.  Am
using Q2006D for a small non profit (synagogue), so I don't really
need all the bells and whistles of business software, but if it is not
an option in deluxe, is it an option in the business software?

TIA

what about the usual "rubber stamp" ?
how many checks do you print at a time ?

I did the same thing. These days, I write a paper check once or twice a year, so
it's no big deal to manually sign them. AFAIK, no version of Quicken ever
allowed pre-scaned signatures.

It's never an issue with my personal checkbook where I only write the
occasional check, although over the years I have had checks clear that
were not signed.

For the synagogue I am often writing 4-6 checks at a time and although
I don't like writing, the issue is frankly more of forgetting to do it
rather than convenience.  Meanwhile, I have pre-hand signed about 25
(vouncher style)  from the box and will try to keep ahead of the game.

Suppose I could try scanning and printing my signature on the checks
though - one to a page, voucher style, though.

For several years I printed checks - with a signature - using word.  I
used a mail merge system, with the primary document the check "template"
and a secondary document just to hold the data fields (payee, date,
amount, etc.)

The point is, I simply placed my name in the template as a signature
font.  No one to whom I ever sent a check cared a bit that the
"signature" was a Microsoft font and not in fact my signature.  Neither
did my bank.

It seems that signing checks in your true hand with ink only when you
are in fact issuing a check is NOT an effective internal control.  So
your idea to sign them in bulk before you print them sounds fine to me.

I scanned my sig in and created a small .jpg file that I paste into
documents such as contracts that need to be emailed or faxed. Have
done this for checks, however.
