    LASER CHECKS and FORM SAMPLES NEW SECURITY FEATURES - RAINBOW 6.P


    All of our stock laser checks now include our new safety features for Rainbow 6.P to include a secured Certified watermark seal, micro-printing, signature and endorsement.


    COPIER "VOID" FEATURE - Checks contain an intricate security design feature that produces a series of Voids if the checks are processed through a single or a full color copier.


    RAINBOW PRISMATIC VERSIONS - The pantograph check design is printed with graduated colors. These versions are the most difficult to photocopy and include our void copier security feature.


    ABA CHECK ENDORSEMENT CLAUSE - The standard American Banking Association endorsement clause is printed on the back with a warning clause indicating the face of the check contains a colored background, a facsimile of the watermark and check pantograph background is also part of the endorsement clause.


    SIGNATURE AREA - The signature area is printed in a different pantograph background than the check . This patented use of multiple pantograph designs produces voids through different density settings on the copier. The signature area also has a warning clause that the signature has a colored background.


    MICRO PRINTING - The line borders on the check and the endorsement are micro printed with SAFE CHECK and padlocks and can only be seen when magnified. Micro-printing cannot be photo-copied or scanned. This security feature is also used on United States currency.


    WATERMARK CERTIFICATION SEAL - An EPA approved watermark certification seal that cannot be photocopied is on the back of every check with appropriate warning clauses printed on the front and back of the check. The watermark also certifies that the paper meets all ANSI/ABA specifications for laser check printing . Under black light, the seal will intensify.


    FLUORESCENT FIBERS - Artificial yellow fluorescent fibers on the back will intensify under black light. (See below Image)
