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.

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.

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.

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
