You and Yours, located in tbe Wihitby Mail, is a personalized clothing store in whicb a picture or card (anytbing along tbose uines) is color-scanned, then enlarged witb tbermal beat onto a transfer paper, tben put on tbe item of clotbing. The scanner can deal witb 64,000 types of color. Terese and Otto Ritcber are tbe owners of tbe store, open about tbree weeks. It is a division of tbeir other business, Silk Sereen Concepts. "This ind of 'pressing is more economical and bas a wider range," says Ritcber. It can also be directed towards tbe smaller businesses, as it is easier. Silk screening produces mass products and a producer won't do just five or six shirts, wbereas we can." "We are one of the few people wbo do this," Ritcber says of bis business, unique in Durbam Region. The 'pressing process is done ratber quickly.

The pictures can be blown up 400 per cent, whicb is about 8 by 13 incbes or 16 by 13 incbes. However, as it gets blown bigger, there is a loss of clarity. "The maimum clarity you could get on a picture is eitber 5 by 7 incbes or 8 by 10 inches," says Ritcber. Pictures can also be done in black and wbite instead of co1or. "Color is ratber new and bas only been around for tbe past year,' says Ritcber. "We can take color and give you a black and wbite, but we can't take a black and white and give you a color. The scanner can't guess what the colors are supposed to be." The messages 'pressed& vary from the cute and funny to the more serious. The, customer can take his pck. Precautions must be taken with the clothing - they canniot be ironed as it is like heat pressing, and littie or no bleach when washing. The owners are constantly corning up with new pictures and messages -to add to their book of suggestions. They feel that they may open another store, but it will not be in Whitby. "So far it bas been accepted very well," they say. "It is very personal. No one can have one like it and it's a good idea for a personal gift."
