The continued publishing of quality articles in The Check Collector is dependent upon members and non-members to submit articles and images for publishing consideration.
It is the current intention to publish TCC with color images for the website with greyscale images for the printed version.
The publishing schedule for The Check Collector is as follows:
| Deadline | Jan to Mar Issue | Apr to Jun Issue | Jul to Sep Issue | Oct to Dec Issue |
| Submit Articles | Feb 15 | May 15 | Aug 15 | Nov 15 |
| Finalize Issue | Mar 1 | Jun 1 | Sep 1 | Dec 1 |
| Post Issue on Website | Mar 15 | Jun 15 | Sep 15 | Dec 15 |
| Mail Issue On or Before | Mar 31 | Jun 30 | Sep 30 | Dec 31 |
Images of checks and other documents should be submitted as 300dpi scans in color against a black background. The TCC editor can easily convert the images to greyscale for use in the printed version of TCC. Images should be zipped, if possible, and the zip file emailed to the editor of TCC. The TCC editor can straighten images if necessary to obtain the desired horizontal/vertical alignment.
If images cannot be scanned, and are submitted as photocopies of the material, those should be in color on a black background if at all possible... the higher quality the better. Please insure there are no folds across the images. The TCC editor can easily scan the photocopies and then convert the images to greyscale for use in the printed version of TCC. If the images cannot be in color, either as scanned images or as photocopies, they will not appear in color in the website version of TCC.
TCC issues published on this website will use the color images and issues printed on paper and mailed will use the black & white images. The image names should include a number that indicates the sequence the images appear in the article.
