Checksoft Personal Deluxe

Checksoft is incredibly user unfriendly. Spent over an hour trying to set it up just to print one simple check. Went to the bank to cash it and I was told it was a fake check and given attitude!!!! I guess I never did set it up right...but that tells you about the product.

It has some new an great changes and I like it.

I installed it today, and I uninstalled it today. I bought it simply to print my own checks. Thats it. Nothing more. I would have been fine had that been the only feature that actually worked. But it did not. I got through the check design steps with no problem. I found it odd there was no actual save button for the design I created. Somehow it managed to save the template I designed. Here is where it all fell apart. Each template prints a little differently, north, south, east, west of the paper perforations. The adjustment tool is pre-guess work, totally in the blind. 9 checks, 3 to a page and I finally got one to line up. When I went to create my second design, none of the first adjustments applied and I was right back were I stated, wasting paper. I have been in Information Technology for 35 years. I know when to cut and run. Not worth the aggravation. Oh, and it stopped responding and hung twice. No, nothing is wrong with my PC, its the Checksoft software.

Excellent

I returned because it would not accept or print my entire account number. Caused a few returned checks because the bank could not process them.

Its not a bad product for what it does, so if you needs are very simple it might work for you. IT WONT PRINT onto your pre-printed checks that you order for your laser jet from your bank. Why? You can customize almost everything but the MICR code. It wants to print this and does not allow you to tell it not too. Therefore if you already have MICR on your checks it will print a second one. I guess this is there way of trying to corner the check reorder process. Also, in voucher form they allude that you can print out detailed information. I found no way of doing that. No way to customize the ledger application. They could have done better.
