Expand the layout alignment grid boundaries for custom pre-printed check styles
Hello, we use pre-printed checks that seem much wider than the alignment grid for custom check styles. I have the Amount and Date fields set all the way to the right (and the printer has no margins or spacing on the page formatting, etc.) but those two values are still left of the blanks on the pre-printed stock. The check stock is a regular 8.5"x11" format sheet and a regular B&W laser printer.
Unfortunately, this means the Amount ends up unclear because of the pre-printed dollar sign (see photo of a check I ran today). Thankfully the checks have been clearing correctly because the "Amount in Words" field is fine.
It would be very helpful if the available alignment grid space was widened by a full inch or more! Thanks.

shared this idea
Hi everyone, we appreciate you sharing this idea. We understand that having more flexibility when setting up check layouts would help businesses align printed payments with their existing stationery.
The suggestion is to allow more control over print field positioning and layout boundaries, making it easier to adjust checks to suit different formats.
For now, printer settings and scaling options can help fine-tune alignment when printing. We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more feedback from businesses with different check layouts.
