from the picture it looks to be appliqué.

If you were to mimic that with screen printing I would print either a puff ink or suede base outlined with black ink. Or a mixture of both the puff and suede.

I think you're right. Might be a mixture.

It is possible it is RF Welding which uses a custom dye and special heat press and it is expensive yet the picture doesn't look like that process

Glad to help

Actually Mark Ecko has a partnership with a ink company in Peru, (not sure if I cn mention the name) Rodney? The company I work for uses inks from the same company. I met with their rep & plan on using some of the inks for my line, but back to the question at hand, looking at those pics, it looks like their Cork Base ink.But could be a mixture of a texured base with a puff additive.

Marc Ecko has his ink specialist work with theirs & that's why season after season the Ecko line has some amazing designs out there. My contact there says that usually after a year, Marc, after it becomes old to him allows the specialty inks to be offered in Printops product line! Thanks Mr Ecko! LOL!!!
