Ordered THIS shirt from HHB...
It's a god damn heat press transfer... nice and stiff, shiny and plasticy like having a babys bid glued to the front of your shirt or something...
For anyone thinking of ordering one.. you've been warned. _________________ Myths (Vinyl) - click me

That sucks. All tees I've got from HHR are screen printed.
Although it's the the distros fault. Afterall, THEY dont make them but it would not be a bad idea if THEY listed it was a transfer and not screen print. |

Bought a back patch from them like this, It was just like a piece of ugly paper, cause the print was completely shit too. _________________ Reliable sellers/traders: ENOLA GOAT,LorteBrian, Adrian5118, Unholy Horde, Kapalika, gangraen, frghl, NUCTEMERON, RottingGrave, Blood on Satan's Claw

Well, according to the description it is a plastisol print, which is a type of ink used in screenprinting. It will be rigid and 'bubbly.' A heat transfer will be thin and frail.
I have a feeling this is a screenprint, it is just a different ink, which I have always heard is high quality. _________________ RSTLSS NRV Layout & Design |

It's most likely an offset print, which is a form of lithography, where multiples plates with a CMYK color scheme run through an automatic press.
Screenprinting is the best, in my opinion. Simple, bold, layers. |

Pfft. That's nothing. I spent $30 on a Schizophreniac shirt and not only was it an iron on but it was a blury fuck up with a weird streak down the middle. Like the guy's printer was low on ink and he just thought "fuck it". Same with a Nasty Disaster shirt I ordered. |

That sucks. Would've been a killer shirt ! I haven't listened to that album in at least a decade, thanks for reminding me to dust it off and give it a spin ! _________________

It says a Plastisol print in the description now because I demanded a refund for this crap. It is not a screen print, it is a Plastisol transfer print... and a heavy handed one at that.

No, it is not.

Yeah would have been killer for sure, very disappointing... nothing a listen to the album won't cure though  _________________ Myths (Vinyl) - click me
