wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 01-01-2014 02:10 PM About three decades ago, when banks still allowed such things, I designed and printed checks in my shop for a few clients. I have samples around here somewhere, but I haven't looked at them in years -- I do remember one set done in the Dada style and another, trés sec, on French handmade paper. IP: Logged
