Guaranteed 100% Wave Accounting Compatible Cheques
Wave's Limited Cheque Printing Partner
Wave Accounting partnered with Cheque Print for payroll cheque ordering. Wave Payroll users see a built-in "Print Cheques" link that routes directly to Cheque Print's ordering portal. While this integration is convenient, Cheque Print's pricing is optimized for their margin model, not for end-user savings. Most Wave users don't realize they're paying a 20–35% premium compared to direct manufacturer ordering.
Print & Cheques Now offers the same CPA 006 compliance and bank-acceptance guarantee at 25% lower cost. Your print workflow remains identical — Wave exports payroll data in standard cheque format, and our laser systems recognize it just as Cheque Print's do. You just skip the middleman margin.
Wave Payroll is not available in Quebec due to provincial payroll regulations, but Wave Accounting users across Canada can benefit from direct cheque ordering for their payroll and accounts payable needs through PCN.

Bank-Grade Security Included at No Extra Cost
Gold Hologram
3D holographic security element visible to the naked eye, preventing colour photocopying and counterfeiting. CPA-verified security measure.
Heat-Sensitive Ink
Invisible text appears only under heat, adding a second authentication layer. Bank tellers can verify cheque authenticity in seconds using thermal detection.
Watermark Paper
Embedded watermark visible only under UV light, creating a third security layer. Industry-standard protection against alteration and fraud.
MICR Adhesion
Magnetic ink perfectly aligned using our Troy Konica Minolta equipment. Zero tolerance for encoding misalignment, guaranteeing bank acceptance at 100% of Canadian institutions.
Why Bank-Ordered Cheques Cost More
Most Canadian banks partner with Davis & Henderson (D&H), a subsidiary of Finastra, for cheque printing. When you order through your bank's online portal, you're paying a distributed margin that includes the bank's commission, D&H's overhead, and the actual printing cost. This three-layer markup typically adds 20–35% to the final price compared to direct manufacturer ordering.
Wave Accounting integrates directly with Cheque Print for payroll cheque ordering, which follows the same affiliate markup model. Print & Cheques Now eliminates this middleman layer by manufacturing CPA-compliant cheques in-house at our Calgary facility. You get the same 100% bank acceptance, CPA 006 compliance, and security standards at 25% lower cost.
Step-by-Step: Setting Up Wave Accounting to Print CPA-Compliant Cheques
Export Payroll Data from Wave Payroll
Go to Wave Payroll → Payroll Runs → Select your pay period → Click "Print Cheques". Learn more about printing cheques in Wave. Wave exports the data in standard cheque format with employee names, amounts, and banking details pre-populated.
Verify Cheque Alignment with PDF Proof
Order our CPA-compliant preprinted or blank stock cheques from Print & Cheques Now. We provide a free PDF proof for you to test alignment with your Wave setup. Our Calgary facility prints a sample cheque so you can confirm MICR alignment, signature position, and account number placement before full production.
Load PCN Cheques Into Your Printer
Our laser cheques work with any standard laser printer supporting 8.5" x 11" stock. Load the cheques, configure your printer settings in Wave to match your cheque position (top, middle, or bottom), and test with a sample run.
Print Payroll Cheques on Demand
From Wave Payroll, export your pay run and print directly to your laser printer using our cheques. No special drivers needed — we've engineered our stock to be compatible with standard printer drivers and Wave's native printing interface. Our Troy Konica Minolta MICR equipment ensures your encoded data matches every cheque perfectly.
Distribute Cheques & Manage AP Payments
Wave Accounting is free for accounting, so you can manage AP payments using the same cheque stock for vendor payments, tax remittances, and other bill-pay needs — something Wave's built-in payroll cheque feature doesn't cover. PCN cheques support all these use cases.
Support & Reordering
Our Calgary-based support team is available by phone or email if you encounter any alignment issues or have questions. Wave Accounting users can set up Express Reorder to replenish stock without re-designing — same template, consistent results every time.

"We switched from Wave's default Cheque Print option to PCN and saved hundreds annually on payroll cheques. Same quality, same bank acceptance, better value. Wave Accounting is already free — PCN cheques make it even better."— Sarah M., Toronto payroll manager, 35 employees
"As a Wave Accounting user, I appreciate that PCN cheques work seamlessly with Wave Payroll's export. The 25% bonus cheques mean we're essentially getting 4 months of payroll cheques for the price of 3. Fantastic deal."— Michael L., Vancouver small business owner, 8 employees
"Wave Accounting is fantastic for cost control, but their cheque printing partner was expensive. PCN's direct ordering saved us 25%, and their support is actually personable. Highly recommend."— Jennifer K., Calgary bookkeeper, serves 12 Wave Accounting clients
Frequently Asked Questions — Wave Accounting Cheques
What are Wave Accounting laser cheques — also called computer cheques or voucher cheques?
Wave Accounting laser cheques are pre-formatted or blank MICR-encoded cheques designed to work with laser printers and Wave Accounting's payroll printing system. Also called "computer cheques" or "voucher cheques," they include security features like holograms, watermarks, and heat-sensitive ink. Print & Cheques Now manufactures CPA Standard 006 compliant cheques compatible with Wave, eliminating the need to use Cheque Print's affiliate ordering portal.
Are these cheques compatible with the latest Wave Accounting update?
Yes. We test every Wave Accounting release (Wave constantly pushes updates) to ensure our laser cheques remain 100% compatible. Our MICR encoding format aligns with Wave's payroll export standard, and our preprinted templates are based on the current Wave cheque position defaults (top, middle, or bottom).
How much can I save by ordering Wave cheques from Print & Cheques Now instead of through Cheque Print?
Print & Cheques Now offers significant value compared to standard Cheque Print rates. Our 25% bonus cheques on every order means you're getting more for your investment. Plus we include premium features like hologram security, heat-sensitive ink, and free PDF proofs. Businesses switching to PCN typically enjoy substantial annual savings plus the added benefit of same-day printing availability and AP cheque support.
Do you provide a free PDF proof before printing?
Yes. Before we print your full order, we provide a free PDF proof showing your exact cheque layout with company name, address, account number, and MICR line positioning. You can test this proof in your Wave Accounting setup and printer to confirm alignment is perfect. Any adjustments are made before production starts.
What is the shipping time for Wave Accounting cheques?
Standard production is 3–5 business days from order confirmation. Same-day printing is available for orders placed before 2 PM EST, with next-day air delivery across Canada. Express Reorder allows existing customers to replenish stock without redesign — just place a repeat order and we'll use your previous template.
Can I use Wave Accounting laser cheques for accounts payable (AP) payments, or only payroll?
You can use Wave Accounting laser cheques for both payroll AND AP payments. While Wave Payroll has a built-in cheque printing feature, Wave Accounting's free tier lets you manage AP and bill payments using the same CPA-compliant cheque stock. This is a major advantage over Cheque Print, which focuses only on payroll cheques through the Wave partnership.
Is Wave Payroll available everywhere in Canada, and does this affect cheque printing?
Wave Payroll is not currently available in Quebec due to provincial payroll regulations. However, Wave Accounting (the free accounting platform) is available in all provinces, so even Quebec businesses can order AP cheques from Print & Cheques Now. If you use Wave Payroll outside Quebec, you can switch to PCN cheques and avoid the Cheque Print middleman cost.
Order Wave Accounting Cheques — Same-Day Printing & Next-Day Delivery Available
