I question if that shirt is real because of the lack of hem details and it's printed over the seams.

All those colors means it is printed using the 4 color process and the overall print means a belt printer. All high dollar processes.

This process has been discussed at length:
all over printing sources - screen printing print all-over the t-shirt with a belt screen printer

You might be on to something there. Either way, I don't think it's screenprinted.

...just to add.

You know, there are a gazzillion fabric pattern prints out there already.

Why not use them to make your all-over printing ? just buy a few assorted rolls and cut/sew.

I saw a shirt like that at the Long Beach NBM show....

It was at the Vapor booth. All over ArTaninium dye-sub on 100% polyester with a extra large heat press. It was too cool. I'm sure this can be done with some other heat transfer process on 100% cotton.

thanks for the info Deb.

yes, polyester fabric rolls are often printed too.

I think it is way less expensive to print polyester fabric rolls and cut/sew than printing 1 shirt at a time.

unless you are doing small quantities or samples.

I may be wrong.

the shirt is in fact real i personally own it.just couldn't find mine for the pics.this is what i know, its printed on 100% cotton and its not cut n sewn also it does look like a really big screen print of some sort..

yeah i have been thinking about that route too i just think the way this tee was printed is very unique and it looks real different than alot of the stuff that's out.i haven't seen this it done on cotton that big before.

so this could be a belt print which was my first guess. or a extra large heat press ( im getting closer) .thanks for the info guys im still trying to get use to the technical side.here are some more example for you guys.hope this gives you guys a better idea of the print style.keep it coming

printed on cotton, interesting and very nice.

i guess it could be done the same way this (about 13x13) plastisol transfer was done...but on a larger transfer sheet. May be.

Can you take a really close up photo of the t-shirt you own?

It's possible that it's a Direct to Garment printer and it's also possible that it's a belt screen printer.

I can see hems on the young boy print. I see the distortion on the left sleeve armhole hem. I also see some of the image on the inside of the neck of the shirt.

This means printed after sewn.

If the shirt is cotton, it would be belt printed because sublimation doesn't work on cotton.

ODB (who comes from my new neighborhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn), is certainly famous enough that producers would spend the big money for a full four color process print on a belt printer. This is a big league shirt and expensive to reproduce.

Many of the shirts at 5 & A Dime (http://www.5andadime.com), like Octo V-Neck (page 10 in apparel), are clearly pre-printed fabric because you can see where the image doesn't line up at the hem.
