A customizable Windows check designer with file connections and MICR printing support.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
IDAutomation Check Design and Printing Software is a Windows desktop application for designing, creating, and printing bank checks. It is aimed at developers and Windows form designers who need locally printed checks on blank or pre-designed stock. The application supports MICR characters, text, graphics, signatures, logos, security fonts, incrementing check numbers, VB scripting, date macros, and embedded data sets. Its design tools suit organizations that need control over check layouts and printing workflows rather than a hosted check-printing service.
The strongest fit is its connection to existing business data. The software can link to Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, CSV files, text files, Oracle, and SQL Server, while embedded data sets support locally managed records. Designers can import signatures and logos, assign incrementing check numbers, and use scripting and macros to shape output. MICR calibration support adds a specific control for printing MICR characters, and the ability to work with blank or pre-designed stock gives the application a wider printing workflow than a tool limited to fixed templates.
The published plan shows a Single User License at $159 USD with one-time annual billing. The MICR E13B font package is required for MICR generation, and the software is provided with the IDAutomation MICR E-13B Font Advantage Package. The single-user, Windows-only desktop model makes the product most suitable for an individual developer or form designer responsible for a local check-printing process. Choose it when customizable layouts, scripting, file connections, and MICR printing matter; choose another option when multiple users, non-Windows platforms, or a broader shared deployment are priorities.
