Answer 1

dye-sublimation printing



Dye-sublimation printers allow you to print photo-lab-quality pictures at home. As the price of these printers go down, more and more digital-camera owners are choosing to take advantage of this technology. In dye-sublimation printing, colors are not laid down as individual dots, as is done in inkjet printers. Individual dots can be distinguished at a relatively close distance, making digital pictures look less realistic.
If you looked inside a dye-sublimation printer, you would see a long roll of transparent film that resembles sheets of red, blue, yellow, and gray colored cellophane stuck together end to end. Embedded in this film are solid dyes corresponding to the four basic colors used in printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The print head heats up as it passes over the film, causing the dyes to vaporize and permeate the glossy surface of the paper before they return to solid form.

So the main difference between this and other types of printing has to do with heat. The vaporized colors permeate the surface of the paper, creating a gentle gradation at the edges of each pixel, instead of the conspicuous border between dye and paper produced by inkjets. And because the color infuses the paper, it is also less vulnerable to fading and distortion over time.

Answer 2

Mass produced t-shirts are usually silk-screened. The silk screen is is basically a silk-supported stencil.

For a one-of production, use Contact [TM] paper to hand cut a stencil and adhere it directly to the shirt and then use spray paint for the lettering.

To do the same item several times, adhere the paper to fine silk stretched onto a frame and squeegee paint through on the shirts.

Answer 3

Those are silk-screen printed. if you don't want to go to the bother of screen printing, most craft stores sell fabric paint and you can paint your own designs on t-shirt. Follow the instructions on the paint bottle and you should get good results.

Answer 4

It could be screen printed, iron on transfers, or iron-on letters. They are letters with a backing on them.

You could make your own by attaching fusible webbing to fabric and then cutting out the letters, then iron them onto a shirt.
