Larger Fonts on Checks

MLS improvement request: larger fonts on checks printed by MLS.
In particular, the "Check Amount" field appears to be no larger than an 8 point font. I've found that these tiny fonts make it sometimes difficult for mobile deposit or optical scanning ATMs to read the numbers correctly and the deposit is rejected. It is really hit or miss and I think the problem is that some of the small numbers are easier for the readers to discern than others. But, when I can't get a check to deposit, it's pretty annoying. I think merely changing this to a 12 or 14 point font would solve the problem.
