So, just to be passive-aggressive, I began printing my own checks. Not only did I _not_ use magnetic ink, I used _plain_ colored copier paper. By law, (US), the banks are obligated to process them. At the time, I used to get my canceled checks back at then end of the month. They all would come back with a strip of paper at the bottom with the account info - presumably using the above mentioned magnetic ink. It was shortly after that when the bank began to offer electronic bill pay with no charge. Now, I rarely write a check. YMMV as I am not sure what the deal is in Canada.
