Fonts
From block to cursive, nine font types are available. Fonts range in size from 18 point to 72 point. Deciding on a font type and font size will depend on factors such as the length of text to be imprinted and the location of the imprinting.

Spanish accents are ONLY available in 24 point Cursive.
