    Thanks Chris.
    Dye sub is something I know very little about. Wouldn’t mind seeing how it’s done though. I understand you can use a normal printer for this. Is the HP any good? How much are the inks? Thanks.

    Hi Karl
    You can only use Epson printers for Dye Sub. Either a D88 (A4) or I believe now the 1800 (A3) are the best. There is a section on dye sub in the forums, maybe a good place to start? 😉

    Mathew I think maybe you should read the board rules before you post any more. That is 4 out of 4 posts blatantly plugging somebody that most of us have never heard of.

    Hi
    i used the Xpres stuff for the UKSB shirts for Rob at this years SignUK printed with ITL Ecomax inks, but did curl if you cut immediately after printing but Ok if you leave a small white contour.
