Default Hmmm, Questions about Flex/flock

Hey everyone! I am pretty new to SS, and I have some questions.

I do all my work on photoshop and do mainly shirts with positive message text designs. I have all shirts set to the default Digital Transfer setting. I ordered a black shirt and am "so so" about the quality. It seems that some of the colors are a little faded already.

Now, is this because it is Digital Transfer? If so, How can I convert all of my already made designs and convert them to vector or eps using photoshop so I can have better quality?? Would Flex/Flock be better printing options? Does flex/flock raise the price of the shirt? and finally, can someone point me to a tutorial for creating vector files using photoshop?

Here is my shop URL:
Vuew

Thank You for your time!

Flex and flock have their limitations. You could not get the look of your 'You Can Change' design with them. Same with 'Be the Change'. Flex and flock is material cut our of a platic sheet, then heat pressed on to your garment. The cutter can't do anything smaller than .06 wide.

Your wallpaper completely renders your explanation of digital transfers unreadable Vuew . You should change your text to white. So I am not sure if this is their direct-to-garment print method? If not, you can try that method and see if it looks any better.

If you decide to try flex/flock, Photoshop is not a native vector program. Illustrator would be easier to use, although I think you can export an eps from Photoshop?
