Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, or MICR, is a widely used method for printing checks, especially in the North America. It uses a special ink with a high content of iron particles to print characters that are then magnetized by a MICR reading machine. This adds an increased level of security to the checks, because it's very hard to counterfeit this kind of print. MICR, however, has some downside
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. The former uses magnetic ink, the latter doesn't.

Magnetic ink character recognition systems offer high security levels because the MICR characters are written using iron oxide ink and follow a strict format, which makes it virtually impossible to forge; however, these specialized systems are costly and can only be used to read MICR fonts written in specific formats.
One major demerit of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition is that it only recognizes a rigid set of characters. Also, MICR devices are costly and non-viable for most SMEs.
