Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) Printer Market Summery

Magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) is a technology used to confirm the originality or legitimacy of paper documents, particularly cheques. Special ink, which is sensitive to magnetic fields, is used in the printing of particular characters on the original documents. Information can be encoded in the magnetic characters. The use of MICR technology can reduce the losses caused by some types of crime and improve security. For instance, MICR technology or magnetic-ink line do not respond to some forged or fake cheque produced using a color photocopying machine. It will generate an inappropriate code when scanned using a device designed to recover the information in the magnetic characters. The market is divided by products (inkjet printer and laser printer), end user (BFSI, Healthcare, Retail Agency and Others) and geography.
