Hey everyone just wondering what type of printing method is used to achieve that vintage look where the ink is like part of the shirt as 1 layer and not a 2nd layer type of feel such as these designs on this site: Vintage Cola T-Shirts from Tees.com | T-Shirt Blog By 101 Tees I have a heat press so wanted to know what kind of heat transfer paper or printing method to go about to achieve it.
Thanks all.

It is screen printed with discharge ink.

I agree with the other posts, screen printed. These may have been done with discharge ink or waterbase, but i'm going to guess it's basic plastisol.

Its not in the printing but in the design itself. Just basic screen prints.

The vintage look is achieved by using some distressing/aging techniques in the graphics software (Photoshop, CorelDRAW, or other). To get a screen print with no hand it would likely be waterbase or discharge inks.
