Hi there Julie
Thanx for the posting.
Up until recently,this `digital transfer`process was only able to be done on a white or light grey t-shirt.They now discovered a way to do it on black & other coloured shirts.Which is great,but to do so,they actually use a double transfer.One white(as a backing to highlight the white in the design) & a pale`ish kind of black(like the one you see,thanx to Peter`s posting).
It`s certainly not an exact colour match with the black t-shirt & unfortunately it`s the only way they can do it .(They explained to me that they did in fact experiment with a lot of other materials but this apparently,was the only successful one).
Being a double transfer,at first,it kind of feels a bit thick & leathery but after a few washes,it should soften up.I`ve done designs on white shirts that have (with reasonable care)lasted for over 2yrs.
You certainly can supply your own shirts,Julie,but the difference in price,for the printing,is only $5.
They are pretty good quality shirts & as I mentioned,they do last well.There is a large range of sizes & of course,even for li`l ol` you, Jules.
Cheers Franko
PS:I`ll bring one of the black shirts out to our ride on Sunday & you can check it out,close up. Looking forward to meeting you,Dave & everyone. Should be a hoot of a day.
