List of laser printers

Pay.UK has arranged for Smithers to carry out tests on non-impact (mainly laser) printers with a view to establishing the quality of print adhesion to cheque paper. Better print adhesion significantly reduces the chances of cheques being fraudulently altered. The machines that achieve the required standard of adhesion are categorised as ‘Smithers Grade 1’ printers and it is these which bank customers are recommended to use.

A copy of the latest results, known as ‘The Smithers List’ is available for download below.
