I've not had any dealings with that site, but, there was a girl on here last year that used them and she said they were OK. If memory serves me right, they were based in Canada at that time, not sure if they now have a UK base

Kaz, they have the address on the contacts page of:

Postal Address
Yolö
PO Box 3330
Marlow
Buckinghamshire
SL7 1WT
UK

But. although it's a PO Box address, they also state the following on delivery:

"We aim to despatch UK and EU orders received before 3pm Monday to Friday on the same day using Royal Mail 1st Class or by courier for larger heavier orders."

So, they must have someone in the UK dealing with orders .... ?

Sorry if I sound a bit thick her... what is wrong with dye sub on black or dark t shirts? what happens when you do it? I'm about to buy the equipment needed to start dye sub and the first thing I was going to try was some black work t's for my business.

Simples ............ you can't print white ink - so a black template on paper will be a black template on a black shirt (without the white of the paper) - black on black doesn't go.

It's like adding a cup of green paint to a bucket of black paint - what colour is it going to turn ............... still black!

You can add dark colours (within reason) to light coloured garments but not light colours to dark garments ................ unless you have a DTG printer of course (he said very enviously!).

Ok see what you mean. I wasn't too sure if the heat of the press had an effect on the shirt.

I had some shirts made for a business I had a few years back, the t's were red and writing was white. When I collected the t's I could see a shiny square on the shirt.
