Safety FAQs
What are watermarks?
Watermarks are imprints placed on a check to prevent fraud. They are
very difficult to counterfeit because they are built into the paper.
Companies that send out rebates often use watermarks to prevent thieves
from trying to counterfeit rebate checks en masse.
What kinds of organizations use security printing paper?
Any company that produces checks should consider using security printing
paper. In addition, companies that create classified information should
also utilize security printing paper. While shredders have been incorporated
to keep internal documents safe, companies should be aware that some
documents can be forged or altered and taken out of the office. The
reader will know he is not reading an authentic document if it was not
printed on security printing paper.
Is it easy for companies to cut checks using secure check paper?
Using secure check paper is easy for almost any size company. The only
requirements are a computer, software, and secure check paper. Most
companies who already have a computer and the software and check paper
are relatively inexpensive.
