Default is this a plastisol transfer ?

i was wondering if anyone would know if this is a plastisol printed shirt.

they say they are heat pressed, and orders are printed up as ordered, but the quality seems real nice, so i just assumed plastisol.

am i right in thinking this??

To be honest, that could be almost *anything*.

I doubt it's plastisol. Most people just pretend it's direct screenprinting when describing plas. tranfers.

I would have guessed vinyl, but it could be plastisol.

I think it can be anything when it's "really" done . I think it's only a blank black shirt with the image layered on it on photoshop or something . notice the wrinkles are not in exact same place between the large and close up pics...i think...

I think it's a pic of an actual printed shirt. I also think that 2141bada took the pics because he said the quality seemed "real nice". How would he know if he didn't have the shirt? The wrinkles look to me like they line up. Even if not, the shirt could have been moved between pictures.

Anyway, yeah either a plastisol or vinyl transfer.

Looking closer, it is indeed Photoshopped.

It's not any process, because it doesn't exist.

Good catch.

You're right. In that case, I think it would be vinyl
