Edocs - does that mean that they email you the docs and you print them out? Please help!

E-docs are either e-mailed to you as a pdf attachment, or you download from a link to a secure web site.

It's an industry standard to print docs only on laser printers. Printing the docs correctly is a major part of our business.

Great point Marilyn!

Probably because doing so on other types would take too long when we have so many last minute docs! lol

ink printers NOT recommended as this will def drain
your pocket book, not to mention potential run off of printed data. Not good for this business at all.

From our end it would definitely be about the cost. It's for another reason. Laser burns the ink onto the paper, so it can't be altered, and is more permanent.

Speaking of permanent ink ....
I amuses me when I see instructions from SSs !!!Use ball point pens only!!!! As opposed to what? Pencil? Fountain pens? Or gel pens - which are permanent and ball point ink is not. Crooks erase/wash ball point ink off checks all the time but they can't with gel ink. It's hard to imagine anybody going to all the trouble of removing ball point ink from a set of loan docs, tho, when they can do major damage with just checks ....
As far as laser/vs. ink jet - yes, we'd go broke using ink jet not to mention the time it would take to print - but as far as permanency goes, I don't see the point. Ink jet is permanent enough. As far as what I've been told, nobody keeps the originals anyway - except for a few docs, and then they can't find them when they want - re: lawsuits regarding missing notes - but beyond that everything is put online or digitized or whatever they do ....

<<<<.....but as far as permanency goes, I don't see the point. Ink jet is permanent enough.>>>>
I have both laser and inkjet printers. I printed on both types, then took the sheets to the sink. I ran water over the one printed on the inkjet.......the print ran. Did the same for the one printed on laser - permanent. My understanding is that even though the docs are scanned, they are still warehoused and when stored for years, those printed on the laser printer will survive moisture and dust.

True - inkjet runs when wet, laser doesn't n/m

Ball point ink will not run when wet and it doesn't appear to fade either, where as gel ink will. That's why the lenders require ball point ink. Run your own test.

I only use Uni-ball 207 gel pens in black or blue
Why? The 207 gel contains pigments which adhere to the fibers of the paper, rather than dying the fibers as is done with most ball-point and other liquid pens. 207 gel cannot be "washed" from the paper like dye ink pens can. View the video below, which is a demonstration of check washing and how ball-point pen writing and 207 gel writing are affected.
