This shirt was printed using a method called dye sublimation.  This is a printing technique in which artwork is printed onto a sheet of high-release paper and transferred onto apparel using a combination of heat and pressure. Unlike screen printing, the dye is directly absorbed by the fabric for an awesome soft-to-the-hand feel. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of dye sublimation printing, expect your garment to have small smudges or blurs near the seams, as well as areas of creasing near the edges - this is a normal byproduct of the process.
