Re: print your own cheques

I get 100 free cheques per year from my credit union. Looking at my records for this year I used 20 cheques so 100 is ca. a 5 year supply. I also write my year end donations by cheque. My credit union mails me a monthly statement with images of any cheques issued in the month.
Most of my bills including CRA tax installments are EFT.

Have to order some USD cheques for my business and was thinking of trying ASAP. How did you find the quality compared to your bank ones (probably backroom printed by D&H or NEBS) ?

They look the same to me (no fancy images that I care for).

Thanks. I had read some reviews that said the paper stock was flimsy and printing poor quality. At about 50% cheaper than D&H though, I'm willing to give them a try.
