As you can see above, the original check has a little bit more green/gray hue to it than the copy i framed. The way i think about it is that no one is going to know the real original color, so as long as it is close enough and looks good, I'll use it.
When i get home later, I'll take a picture of some of the other tests printings that did not make the cut.
Also, for most of the paper items, like checks/3x5s, i use plain paper for the final frame as glossy and matte photo paper make the items look like photos and not originals.
