"Check 21"
Since getting involved with ink, the banking industry has become a source of
ever increasing levels of importance fighting forgers, check washers, and identity thieves. The latest: "Please note that because Check 21's effectiveness depends on clear digital images, we strongly encourage your use of black ink and approved check designs.* We offer a wide array of checks that are image friendly but you should be careful when purchasing checks from other companies to avoid backgrounds, designs or colors that are not image friendly." The above is the message that was sent by a few regional banks. It is a national law, so it is likely your local bank has made similar statements. The critical moment for checks has expanded from not only the moments before clearing - such as when it is in the mail, mail box, or being carried by the receiver (the moments when check washers and forgers pounce, especially on ball pen inks)...to also include the new steps of forming virtual checks during clearing. It is critical to have an ink that is as close to forgery proof as possible, as black and deep in contrast as possible, wash proof as is possible AS WELL AS having a check paper with all the standard security marks, lines, etc...and on standard check paper - not plastic composite or high gloss papers. Plastic or polymer composite papers and high gloss papers defeat not only Noodler's Black (it washes off plastics by design!) but can reflect badly in electronic scans. Demonstrations of Noodler's Black and sample bottles have been at many pen shows, but if you need more...here are a couple sites: http://members.aol.com/scaupaug1/ETERNITY/1testPAGE.jpg http://members.aol.com/scaupaug/ink/index.html |
