Admittedly, the cheque testing centre seems to be hyper-critical. We've had them fail cheques that clients have been sending to the banks without issue for years.
Generally, we do the cheque here (preferably with samples of their cheque stock - although some clients will only send photocopies). We have a Troy dimm and a HP (LJ 4) printer. This usually gets it close. Then we have to work "remotely" which can be a pain. I just wanted to impress upon John that the MICR line had to be printed precisely.
