Our letters are screen printed using hard inks from huge sheets of plastic containing sometimes hundreds of letters. The sheets are then trimmed to size, both vertically and horizontally several times until we are at the precise letter tile size. Both these processes are susceptible to a certain amount of tolerance, however, within a tiny 1.5mm margin of error.
If you are looking for the very best result with your letter tiles in position in their tracks you are going to have to focus your attention on letters that can flip and still be read. To help you here they are:
B,C,D,E,H,I,O,X,8,3.
If you decide that for example a letter looks low or high among it’s neighbouring plastic letters, look for the ‘flipping letter’ or letters in the word and try flipping the tiles, so the top now becomes the bottom. If all looks great again you just inserted the letter upside down and back to front originally. There is no point flipping any other letter apart from these above as there aren’t any others!!!
