To discourage the altering of pre-printed checks for fraudulent gain by increasing the difficulty in altering the checks successfully, the present invention in a preferred embodiment prints the designated information over and over in different sizes, colors, fonts, shades, or intensities on the face of the check. The present invention utilizes the available background field to preferably print the amount (50, 60) of a check (80) or the payee's name (40), or both, repeatedly on the face of the check (80). The scope of the present invention includes using a continuous string of characters over and over to spell out the amount of the check (80) or illustrate the check amount (50, 60), making it difficult to alter the background graphics since there will likely be a different number of characters in the new amount (50, 60) or payee (40). |
