Question from Mary

I’d like to order duplicate checks. Does anyone know of a brand that doesn’t smell a lot? It’s a pain to have to air them out before using them. Thanks.

Debra’s Answer

I don’t recommend using duplicate checks for the same reason I don’t recommend carbonless carbons. They are made with toxic chemicals that outgas. Though duplicate checks may be more convenient, they are more toxic. I don’t think any exist that smell less, as they are all made with the same technology.

I’ve also discovered that all checks are not alike. The ones with pictures on them use a different ink than the plain checks, and they have a much stronger odor.

I’ve been using checks from Check Gallery, which are printed on recycled paper with soy-based ink. I’ve been happy with them.
