Magnetic Ink (MICR Ink)

Magnetic Ink (MICR Ink)

Magnetic ink, also known as MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) ink, contains magnetizable particles (typically iron oxide) that can be magnetically read by specialized equipment. It is primarily used for printing characters that can be automatically processed – most commonly on bank checks.

How it works:
The ink contains ferromagnetic particles suspended in a vehicle. After printing, the characters are magnetized, and a MICR reader detects the unique waveform generated by each character's shape as it passes through a magnetic field. The E-13B and CMC-7 fonts are international standards.

Key applications:

• Bank checks and drafts

• Financial documents

• Secure payment vouchers

• Automated invoice processing

• Ticketing and coupons

Advantages:

• High-speed automated reading

• Resistant to smudging and tampering

• Compatible with offset, screen, and flexo printing

• Can be combined with visible inks

• Secure data encoding
