Start with the fastest path

1. **Open Quick Check.** From the top navigation select **Docs → Quick Check** or head to `/quick-check` directly. 2. **Fill the essentials.** Enter the payee, amount, and memo. Quick Check keeps the form lean so you can move from blank fields to a printable PDF in under a minute. 3. **Download and print.** Use the PDF download button to generate a high-resolution check that respects the same MICR alignment as the production writer.

If you are new to CheckCrafter, this path requires no login and mirrors the styling you see across the rest of the site—rounded corners, generous white space, and the primary blue hue for accents.

Tune your printer for clean output

• **Verify alignment.** Print a PDF from Quick Check and hold it against pre-printed stock. The app uses the same border and input tokens as the main builder, so spacing should match exactly.
• **Use the built-in gradients sparingly.** If you see banding, switch your browser’s print dialog to “Best” quality and disable background images.
• **Save your preferred settings.** Once you like the output, save the print dialog preset so every CheckCrafter PDF keeps the same crisp look.

When you are ready for more control—templates, saved history, and sharing—move on to the **Write a check** guide.
