You are so funny, Patricia!
Actually, I think that the so called sighted checks are free for me
because my checking account with Bank of America is what they call is
the advantage account. I get that is one of the freebies of such an
account which entitles me to free checks?

Patricia,
Yikes! I didn't know that they were that expensive!Well, I nust be
blessed! I get those raised checks free. I guess that it is because
I have a special checking account or because I used to work for
Bank of America when I had my vision.

I used to use those kind, but some many stores mistook them for a
business size check which made it always call the manager over to process it.
They aren't cheap either, I paid $35 and the good old standard
issued checks from my credit union are free.

Hi,
I also use Bank of America for my checking account. I use a
format with MS Word to layout my checks and print it on my HP laser printer.
The best thing is that the bank provided me with a business size
checks that was specifically designed for the blind. It has
raised lines which for me I can tell which way to put the check
into the printer.
So, if you have an account with Bank of America, try to find out
if you can order these checks. Perhaps, other banks offer the
same checks? It all depends what check printer they use.
The only downside with these check is that the check printer
don't always print the checks exactly the same way each time and
I am having to have my wife measure the checks so that I can make
the changes in MS Word.
Thought that you might like to know this.

The easiest way I have found to write checks is to use my bank's
online bill pay service. I set up bill pay with the company or
person I need to pay, and the bank will either make an
electronic transfer or send a check through the regular mail. I
use Bank of America and the bill pay service is free.
fyi

Dear Tom,
That is just about what I do!
Except I use a Word doc file!
The only thing is I have to use that removable Scotch Tape, it
is number 811, which sticks about like a post it note, it
sticks but is easily removed, to attach my check to the top
left hand corner of a letter size sheet of paper to run it through my printer!
The checks are just too too small to run through my HP 950c printer!
I usually print all my monthly checks at one setting, so I just
use one sheet of paper!
But I have been doing it like that for many years!
With Best Regards,
Alan
Miami, Florida

Awhile back I wrote in about my difficulty getting the Check Writer
program to work.
I didn't hear any suggestions, so this is what I did.
With a bunch of trial and error, I made an Excell file that will print
the information to the correct places on a check.
Just thought I'd pass along the idea, if someone else is looking for an
economical way of getting this done.
Blessings,
Tom
