I saw a video of how spreadshirt makes their tees. It's a method called 'Plot Printing' which is a high quality and professional form of printing onto clothing. Print is very soft plus designs won't fade. Plot Printing then breaks down into two different subsets; Flex and Flock - Flock is a soft, fuzzy fabric while flex is smooth and shiny.

What exactly is this? Could it be referring to vinyl transfers or plastisol? The video shows them using a heat press. I'm also curious to know if this method rules over screen printing (altho that would be very hard)...

Thanks in advance!

Plot printing is really heatpressing heat applied vinyl. A plotter or CAD Plotter commonly called a cutter on this forum is a computer assisted drafting machine that can be fitted with a blade or pen to produce vector graphics.

It has certain benefits (like being able to do one t-shirt economically), and certain drawbacks (can't do fades, photographs)
