Lol. I agree Phil. Large print sounds great. I thought mbo1142 meant 1899...lol. Just kidding. I've done the exact same thing.

Got so upset I spent 20 bucks on that for dummy stamp identification app. Find your stamp value I guess it was. And that thing wasn't accurate at all. But then I just read crop the perfs. So I'll see. But no more 20 bucks anyway. So nevermind. Lol.
