ILL-prints

Hello Everyone,

I own a small apparel company and have been screenprinting all my own designs on 100% cotton Tees for a couple months now, but I want to expand into the microfiber world of moisture wicking, breathable material. I have a couple 1st layer snowboard shirts that I am trying to imitate, and I included pics for reference. This is a 100% polyester shirt, with printing on the chest and down the sleeves.
I am assuming this is a heat transfer, not sure whether it was pigment, plastisol, or whatever other methods are out there and was hoping someone could help me out in determining what it is/how its done/etc?

The 2nd shirt is made by Burton, and the material is made from 92% polyester/8% spandex. I am completely stumped on how these results were achieved..the shirt is very very stretchy, yet the printed images have no problem whatsoever stretching with the shirt.
This logo almost feels like it was screenprinted, but it is located on the upper shoulder and wrist (very awkward places to screen print IMO) so I doubt it was screen printed. Both have a very soft hand, almost undetectable. I want to put my logo on shirts like these but really have no idea how to do it? Thanks for lookin'

Don't rule out a printing method because of where the print is. It's very possible the material was printed first, then sewn together.

There are specially formulated low bleed poly silkscreen inks made for printing on dri fit. All ink companies makes them. Ask your ink supplier about it.
