So, I carelessly placed an order for a toner cartridge. It wasn't until
after completing the order that it finally dawned that "MICR" wasn't a
random acronym. It stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, the funny
characters printed at the bottoms of bank checks. Apparently, I'll shortly
be able to print my own check stock.

Does anyone know what benefit MICR toner might have for toner transfer use
in making circuit boards?
