Default Re: Type of Printing

There are a number of ways to get that 'soft' feel. could be DTG, screen printed water based inks, sublimation, discharge.

check out this thread.

What is the Quality of Different T-Shirt Printing Methods? A list in general order.

never heard of "SUPER WAVE" printing. there are 3 GENERAL types of printing for shirts (i generalize them into 3, im not trying to start a fight!) Screen printing, Direct To Garment Printing and heat transfers. Im not sure which category 'super wave' falls into.
