Default Rubbery image on t shirt

I have a shirt by a company called OBEY (not sure if it matters). The shirt is very thin, and the print on the front is the Kremlin in red with the words OBEY on the bottom. The print on it feels slightly rubbery, like it's not screen print.

Any idea what it might be? Plasitisol? How can I tell? Also, how do I find out what shirt (American Apparel, Fruit of the Loom) the shirt is printed on?

I was just asking a friend the same question about an hour ago. He said it was plastisol. I don't know if that is correct though.

It's most likely vinyl. I have an arson shirt that has the same rubbery texture your talking about and it is vinyl.

Imagine a very thin layer on top of the shirt material. It feels like a really soft rubber. Totally flexible, and it isn't harmed by the washer or dryer.

If it's a high density gel print, where do I find this gel?

Rutland, Wilflex and Union sell High density Gel. It is a clear base that needs to be printed on a low mesh frame with a 300-400 micron cap film. Pretty expensive yet more than likely exactly what your looking for.
