Designer Checks Running Soy Ink Alternatives

By Greg Braswell


People are starting to realize that the internet affords more comparative choices for choosing check designs. The huge choices at one's fingertips offers more variety by allowing the purchaser opportunity to buy direct from the large check printers. These established printing companies in turn pass back a large price break to their customers. It always pays to shop around and not get caught up paying more at the local bank.

In order to give you an idea of the various categories some popular themes are recycled checks, special interest check categories such as lighthouses, scouting, travel, military, music, aircraft, collectibles, colleges and universities, education just to name a few.

Then we have various career motif checks, fantasy themes, cartoons, fine art, geometric, plain checks, watercolors, nature scenes, or animals and pets as well as all the various wildlife causes and various rights cause checks. And there are trains, planes, motorcars boat, and sport team and various sport checks and there is much more.

Helping the environment by get green is fast becoming a conscious choice for shoppers. Using recycled checks or using 100% soy-based inks are an earth friendly alternative. Many check manufacturers have a heart not only giving you great value in your personal check design selection but also environmentally friendly affirmation.

The choice to use earth friendly soy-based inks and recycled paper has rapidly gained acceptance. These checks are printed on 24lb. MICR bond paper that comply with Federal Reserve requirements.

Scientific studies demonstrate that soy-based ink degrades faster. It degrades approximately twice as fast as that made from petroleum resins and oils and four times as completely as standard petroleum inks and resins. It's nice to be green but, if you're buying checks in bulk, perhaps you might want to reconsider and purchase accordingly.

The larger recycling programs recover and recycle materials that are equal in quality to virgin new fiber. Recycler's contribute the material that perpetuates the process and contributes a resource of equal quality at a competitive price. Recycling pays off in many ways. It's friendlier to the environment and it results in a lower cost to the end user.

Also, when you buy online direct from a check design printer manufacturer they not only produce great personal bank checks, address labels, contact cards and checkbook covers featuring beautiful inspired designs but charge less than your bank charges, generally about 50% less. And considering no sales tax and faster shipping, ordering online is a terrific bargain!
