Today, there is also a particular pen that Uni-Ball makes that is not susceptible to check-washing in acetone. I can’t remember the exact item number, but it can be found at any department store or office supply store.

Also, its good to write “FOR DEPOSIT ONLY” behind the check. In case the check does get fraudulently encashed, at least the encasher can be easily traced.

I print my checks off of my computer, and it automatically fills in asterisks in any space where there is not going to be any text. I work for a check printing company; one of the perks is free laser checks.

Also, write the words together closely so that nothing can be inserted. When writing checks for even dollar amounts, consider using “Exactly” before starting the dollar amount, or use “NO/100 or XX/100″ instead of “00/100″ to prevent someone from changing the cents amount.
