More than a printed image.
Specialized MICR toner is formulated to provide the magnetic characteristics used by MICR reading equipment when checks are printed with the appropriate font, layout, and settings.

Professional MICR Check-Printing Toner
Engineered specifically for check printing.
Every payment deserves precision. This specialized magnetic toner cartridge is designed for professional check printing on compatible HP LaserJet Pro 4001 and MFP 4101 printers, with an emphasis on clearly defined characters, sharp black output, and the magnetic properties required for MICR reading.
Printing a check requires more than making the numbers look dark. MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, and a properly produced MICR line must support magnetic reading as well as visual readability. This cartridge uses a specialized magnetic toner formulation intended for that application, rather than ordinary document printing alone.
Designed for the HP 148A cartridge platform, it brings check-focused toner technology to supported LaserJet Pro 4001 and MFP 4101 devices. It is an ideal fit for businesses preparing payroll checks, vendor payments, accounts payable checks, and other authorized business disbursements.
Specialized MICR toner is formulated to provide the magnetic characteristics used by MICR reading equipment when checks are printed with the appropriate font, layout, and settings.
Designed for crisp black text and well-defined characters, from the payee name and payment amount to the routing, account, and check numbers in the MICR line.
Combines the 148A / W1480A cartridge format with a check-printing formulation, giving supported HP printers a dedicated MICR toner option for business payments.
Check printing is no place to compromise on toner selection. This cartridge is engineered with the application in mind: clear payment information, carefully formed MICR characters, and professional black output on suitable laser-compatible check stock.
Supplied by The Printer Depot, with pre-shipment testing and technical support available by email. Pair it with properly configured check-printing software and a validated check layout for a dependable business workflow.
