Default Re: Highest quality printing technique?

With vinyl heat transfers, it is Ok for simple design and without very fine details.
Screen printing is best in terms of durability, I bought t-shirts 6 years ago, and the printing is as nice as the 1st day I bought it.

For breathability vinyl is not the best, but you can look for screenprinting and no hand feel techniques.

The quality of the t-shirt is to be considered as well for durability.

Mass production with heat transfers ? I am not so sure, you can output more print with a manual press than with one heat press.

You have lots of informations on this forum, and consider to buy the book "How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit!" which will give you valuable informations on screenprinting techniques.

Good luck
