What Print Contrast Signal (PCS) levels apply to each of the three required elements on the back of a cheque?
The endorsement line with the phrase “Endorsement – Signature or Stamp” as well as the Verification phrase (“BACK/VERSO”; “VERSO/BACK”; “BACK/ENDOS”; “ENDOS/BACK; “BACK” or “VERSO”) must be printed in a minimum PCS of 0.6 with respect to their immediate background. These elements require this PCS level to ensure that they are visible on an image taken of the cheque. The teller stamp box with the phrase “Teller Stamp Here” must be printed in a maximum PCS of 0.25 with respect to its immediate background. This PCS level ensures that the box and the phrase fade when an image is captured from the cheque.
