Really? What did you think the difference was between what you do and 'retail'?
I wouldn't expect a retail shirt that is supposedly "professionally" printed to have the same mistakes I made when I did my very first heat pressed shirt

I think you can get rid of the press marks by reducing the pressure or the temperature (or using a teflon sheet). I know on subsequent presses of the same article1 style shirt, I didn't have the same press marks.

How did they cut the plastisol on the zipper? Wouldn't it hold the sweatshirt closed and get in the way when you tried to open it?
I didn't see them do it, but I'm guessing with a razor or maybe even by just opening the zipper?
