I WAS WONDERING WHAT THIS PROCESS IS CALLED, HOW AND WHERE I WOULD BE ABLE TO PRINT A MULTI COLORED FULL PRINT LIKE THIS ONE..I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS IN THE ALL OVER PRINT THREAD BUT I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET MORE INSIGHT IF I MADE IT ITS OWN THREAD ..THANKS IN ADVANCED

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

...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.
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

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.
