It does indeed. Best to get something that will ideally press on at a lower temp and be able to wash at a fairly high temperature.

Good quick press time on that which helps. 60c not bad for a wash temp either.

I usually pay £10 for 5 delivered or £60 for 50 of them with free delivery.
And yes vinyl works better on them than sublimation as it looks much crisper.

If you do not have an account with them you can use mine.

DAM DAM DAM, what a night im having, lol
i ordered the hi vests of ebay at £2.20 including free delivery no vat, (at least i know for next time.)

but to top my bloody night off i just printed 13 (unlucky for some especially me) Polos and hoodies and they were for a scaffolding company...
and yes (no sniggers please) I SPELT SCAFFOLDING WITH ONE EFFING F....AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

after a rant at the mrs (cos she was there) we soon put it right, peeled off the SCA AND ADDED SCAF

Lesson learnt for saturday nights,,,, DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SPELLING

IM CALM NOW HONEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always provide a proof of the garment with the design/lettering so the customer can sign off. If it is spelt wrong then it's their fault if they approve it.

I kind of did but changed it in the final stages, it was totally my fault. Won't spell scaffolding wrong again though...
