There are two ways to increase your bottom line: 1) Increase Revenues and 2) Cut Costs. Whether you're in marketing, finance, accounting, sales, operations, or any other department, the measurability of your success rests on whether or not you are helping increase revenues or cut costs.
Often businesses, particularly small and mid-sized companies, and the people who run them focus more on the first of those two ways, increasing revenues. This is understandable as without sales you have no business. But too often the second half of that equation is forgotten or at least not given enough attention.
This sentiment protects against unwise and expensive investments, but it also often prevents businesses from seeing high return investments. Not all new technologies cost a lot and not all of them take years to realize their savings. Check printing is a perfect example of this. Most businesses pay their bills and employees with checks. Most small and mid-size businesses use preprinted checks, often QuickBooks checks, which are checks that already have the MICR line and company information printed on them. By using a QuickBooks check printing software like PrintBoss, which only costs $150, these same businesses can stop using preprinted checks and start using blank checks. The $150 cost for the software will be earned back the first time blank checks are purchased. While preprinted checks can cost over $300 per thousand, blank checks sell for only $60 per thousand.
Investing in new solutions to cut costs and improve efficiency does not mean investing in expensive technologies. Business owners do not have the luxury of unlimited budgets. So when you're looking to improve your bottom line by cutting costs you need to find inexpensive but effective solutions with a quick returns. QuickBooks check printing software that allow you to print on blank check stock is an easy, effective, and simple solution for all businesses.

Over 55% of B2B payables are processed through checks. Checks are the most reliable, securest, and most accepted form of B2B payment today. It is for this reason that they have remained at the heart of business transactions.
So what is the best way to print checks? With QuickBooks, and most other host accounting packages, you have two options: 1) Print checks to preprinted check stock and 2) Print checks to blank check stock. Many business owners and accountants don't realize that this second method is even an option. This is because many host accounting packages, QuickBooks included, do not come out of the box with this functionality. QuickBooks alone only allows you to print checks to preprinted stock. And as they say, what you don't know will hurt you. Printing checks to blank check stock saves you time and money over its preprinted alternative.
QuickBooks invites you to print checks using its preprinted check stock. Preprinted means that the check paper already has your bank information and company information printed on the check when you receive it. This alone is a security risk. When you print checks from QuickBooks, you must make sure you are using the correct check stock for the correct company and that you are using the correct check number. You can see quickly the many opportunities for human error. Add on top of this the cost of preprinted check stock ($368.99 per thousand) and you realize that not only is it error prone, but the QuickBooks check printing system is expensive.
While printing checks to blank check stock is not a feature Intuit offers, there are many third party software, like PrintBoss, that enable this ability. PrintBoss enables you to print all of your checks for all of your companies and all of your different bank accounts onto the same blank check stock. PrintBoss stores your bank information on encrypted files and matches them with the company information coming from QuickBooks. PrintBoss then prints the MICR line (the account and routing information at the bottom of a check), as well as your company information, amount, and check number on the check face.
With PrintBoss you never have to worry about changing out your check stock from the printer, or the security risk of unused check stock lying around the office with your bank information printed on its face. Not to mention, blank check stock costs a fraction of the price of preprinted stock at $60 per thousand.
Printing checks onto blank check stock is the most secure, efficient, and cost effective way to pay your payables.

We have had several clients ask us recently what the main differences are between our PrintBoss Select and Enterprise products. In some cases, they have done the 30 day trial of PrintBoss Enterprise, but then when they purchase the software, they order PrintBoss Select. Inevitably, we get calls asking why their demos had these features but now after they purchased the software, they can no longer do all of those same things. In an effort to answer and prevent much of this confusion, we thought we'd take some time and space on our blog to explain the two and provide links to more information about each.
At just $150, the Select version is designed as an out of the box check printing solution. When we first ventured into the QuickBooks market, we found the user base to have slightly different needs than our historical clients. This customer segment needed unlimited bank accounts and wanted to be able to print signatures on checks. They wanted to be able to use Positive Pay and print logos on their checks as well. They didn't need things like emailing or archiving accounting documents. In order to meet their needs, we created PrintBoss Select. It is designed to be an inexpensive, easy to use, low maintenance check printing solution.
Select's plug and play type structure does not lend itself to form customization or Citrix environments. What it does do is enable top, middle, or bottom check printing. It works with all versions of QuickBooks, including QuickBooks Online and it allows you to print deposit slips and create ACH payment files. The market asked for something simple and intuitive, so we gave it to them.
Like its Select sibling, Enterprise was designed to be easy to use and intuitive. At $795, it comes with all the bells, whistles, and extras you could ask for. When compared to products with similar features, Enterprise's $750 price point lies well below the competition. While maintaining all of the features of Select, Enterprise adds further features and allows for more form customization.
PrintBoss Enterprise allows you to email and fax copies of all of your accounting documents. It will even automatically archive documents after being printed. Part of this archiving feature is Enterprise's ability to not only name documents based on things like company name or invoice number, but also create folders on your network if they do not already exist.
Enterprise also works in a Citrix environment and works with other accounting packages beyond QuickBooks. In general, PrintBoss Enterprise was designed to allow you to do anything and everything you need to do.
For a quick breakdown on feature differences between Select and Enterprise, go to our Free Trial page and scroll to the bottom. And while you're there, download our free trial to see how both Select and Enterprise can save your company time and money, while increasing your security. In the setup process of the free trial, you will be able to pick which version you want to try.
