| Easily create personal checks Product Information Check Designer Personal allows you to design and print checks using your own laser or ink-jet printer. The designs print directly on special check stock available from MySoftware.

The designs print using the images and text you create, along with the items your bank requires, such as fractional numbers and a MICR line. The design wizard takes you step-by-step through entering the required information. Then, you can choose from several templates for the type of check you want to design. Add customized elements, such as clipart or lines of text. You can even have your signature printed directly on the check.
