Advice
- Dates look best with . not / or - example: May 23, 2015 or 5.23.2015 work well, but 5-23-2015 or 05-23-2015 or 5/23/2015 or 05/23/2015 don't look good on pencils
- White pencils with black print look awful, especially with a plain font such as Arial or Helvetica
Notes
Multiple Text Line Orders - Submit UPPERCASE LETTERS ONLY ideally in the McKellar font for best results.
Diacritics - letters with punctuation above the letter are only available with the Larger Helvetica - with diacritics. To use this font, all text lines must have text with diacritics.
Dates Appear best on a pencil either with periods or spelled out. For example: 3.6.2015 or March 6, 2015
Logos, Emoticons & Emojis are not printable on small orders. :) prints distorted and is not available.
Recommended Print Colors gold, copper and silver print look really nice on white pencils. black print on white pencils looks awful.
