I think it's a very nice idea. It's going to stand out and people will actually take the time to look to figure out why...lol
Maybe you'll be helping the charity to raise more money.... You'll be helping to find the cure. Good Luck and Great Job!

Probably not. Most cheques are photocopied or digitally copied for the bank's records, and pink ink doesn't always copy well. They'll probably ask you to use dark blue or black ink. Sorry, it's a nice idea, but why not get pink cheques to show your support for the Breast Cancer awareness program, and write on them in blue/black ink to keep the bank happy. That way everyone wins!

It's not a good idea. The imaging machines that read your check will have a hard time reading the light colored ink. That could impact you by have the wrong amount of money deducted from your account. Personally, I wound NOT want to spend my free time at the banking institution starting investigations because the incorrect amounts were deducted from my account. Use blue or black.

Black or blue is required for most documentation purposes. But here is a better idea- why not see if you can get checks printed with the breast cancer awareness logo in the background? It doesn't cost that much and it would really get your point across!

It has to be legible, and usually blue or black ink is requested by the bank. Also, if your checks are imaged instead of returned, the information might not show up. If you want a good contrasting color, get a purple pen.

The banks prefer black or blue ink. As long as the check is written properly the receiver should not have problems with it.

Technically the banks usually require Black or Blue Ink. Check with your bank for their policies.

I dont think anything is wrong using it because, pink is the color for that awareness but if it is a personal check for business etc i would say no.

Just don't use invisible ink. Haha. I've used pink, green, purple and red and I've never been told it was wrong or unacceptable by my bank or any business.

I think Czechs can write in different colours, just like in English. Depends on the colour of the ink in their pen or pencil.

Legally, probably yes. But writing a cheque is important enough a proposition that I would mandate using black, blue, or purple ink.
