The technique described in the question is known as "microline numbering." This is a security feature used on checks to prevent fraud and counterfeiting.
Microline numbering involves printing the check's routing and account numbers in a small, fine font that is difficult to replicate. These numbers are then overlaid with a faint line or pattern, which can only be seen when viewed through a colored highlighter pen or a bright light.
The purpose of this technique is to make it harder for counterfeiters to alter the check's routing and account numbers, which are essential for processing the payment. By using microline numbering, the bank and the payee can easily verify that the check is genuine and has not been tampered with.
In contrast, holographic safety borders and embossed pearlescent numbering are other security features that can be used on checks, but they are not related to the specific technique described in the question. Holographic safety borders involve using a reflective pattern or image on the check to make it harder to replicate, while embossed pearlescent numbering involves printing the numbers on the check using a raised, pearl-like texture.
