Check accents and Spanish lettering before ordering transfers

Approve the words before approving the appearance

A correctly printed name can still be the wrong name. For Spanish lettering, approve the exact text separately from the design. Copy it from one approved list instead of retyping it between a message, a mockup and the production file.

Check accents, ñ, punctuation, capitalization and any surname spacing requested by the person receiving the garment. Do not remove an accent to make a font fit. Adobe’s Glyphs documentation shows how available characters can be inspected for the selected font; other design tools may provide their own character view.

Run two separate proofs

1. Text proof: compare every word with the approved list. Have the requester resolve uncertain names or wording.
2. Artwork proof: inspect the exported file at its intended size. Check that accents are not cropped, opening punctuation remains present and line breaks preserve the intended reading.

Hypothetical example: the approved label is “Peña”. A preview showing “Pena” is a text mismatch even if its edges are sharp. An export showing the right word with the top of the ñ cut off is a different, visual failure. Correct and reapprove the relevant file before ordering.

Keep a dated approval copy with the design name and dimensions. Converting lettering to outlines can preserve its shapes, but it cannot correct a spelling mistake already present.

Send the approved export

Use the artwork guide for the remaining file checks. Choose DTF transfers for compatible garments. For help reviewing a specific file, use contact; Spanish file enquiries can be sent to archivos@transfer305.com. Include the approved wording so the question is unambiguous.
