Threadless screenprint, mostly with plastisol ink I think.

Thanks for the info, I'll do some research. If Threadless is direct print, I wonder why they require so many specifics on how the design is produced, perhaps just to create the feeling that so many thousands of different design are created by a handful of people. They limit to 5 colors, no screens, no graduated fills, they seem to prefer designs lacking in tight registration...hell, you're handcuffed before you start. If you scan their catalogue there is a certain "sameness" in the feel of the designs.

I think I may also purchase shirts produced in the different methods just to get a feel of the 'hand' of the print. What I'm seeing on the racks these days in retail sure has a different appearance.
