⚠ Heads up — the app isn't code-signed

The Check-Printer is an independent project. Code-signing certificates are expensive, so this app ships unsigned. Your system may warn that it's from an "unidentified developer" or block it on first launch. The app is safe — you just need to tell your OS to allow it. Here's how:

Run it on Windows Windows Defender SmartScreen
  1. Double-click the downloaded Check Printer Setup latest.exe.
  2. If a blue "Windows protected your PC" window appears, click More info (the small link in the text).
  3. A Run anyway button will appear at the bottom — click it.
  4. The installer proceeds as normal. You only need to do this once.

If your browser blocked the download

In your browser's Downloads list, find the file, click the ⋯ menu (or the warning), and choose Keep / Keep anyway.

Run it on macOS Gatekeeper

Method 1 — Right-click to open (easiest)

  1. Open the Check Printer-latest.dmg and drag The Check-Printer into your Applications folder.
  2. In Applications, right-click (or Control-click) the app icon and choose Open.
  3. A dialog warns it's from an unidentified developer — click Open to confirm. macOS remembers your choice for next time.

Method 2 — Allow it from Settings

  1. Try to open the app once (it gets blocked), then close the warning.
  2. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section.
  3. You'll see a message that the app "was blocked." Click Open Anyway, then confirm with your password or Touch ID.

Method 3 — Terminal (if still blocked / "app is damaged")

  1. Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities).
  2. Type this, then press Return: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/The Check-Printer.app"
  3. Open the app normally. This removes the quarantine flag macOS adds to downloaded files.

Download a check template

Each template maps every field to a precise position so The Check-Printer prints in perfect alignment on your bank's checks.

Download ↓

Each template positions every field to closely match your bank's check layout. We strive to align every field as closely as possible, with a typical alignment variance of about ±1 to 2 mm depending on your printer, paper, and check stock.

If your bank is not listed, or if you notice an alignment issue with an existing template, please contact us and send a clear image or scanned copy of a blank check. We will use it to create a new template or refine the existing one for better alignment.

By submitting a check image, you acknowledge that the document may contain sensitive information and voluntarily consent to share it with us for the sole purpose of creating, testing, or refining your check template. You represent that you are authorized to share the submitted check, and you grant us permission to use the image only for template development and support. We will not use your check image for any other purpose without your consent.

Batch import template

Printing lots of checks at once? Download the import CSV, fill in one row per check (date, payee, amount, memo, check number), then load it into The Check-Printer to print the whole batch.

Columns: date, payee, amount, memo, check_number — keep the header row exactly as-is.

Request a custom template

Using a different bank? Send us the details and we'll create a template for you. Give each field's position measured in millimetres from the top and left edge of the check.

Tip: measure with a ruler from the very top-left corner of the physical check. Leave a field blank if your check doesn't use it.
