They probably use several different techniques for printing. I would guess that a majority are silk screened. I think that they may use a lot of sublimation prints as well. It's a photo transferring process that gives you a nice hand feel and easily increase the amount of detail you can print. It can alter you color a bit.
- exactly the type of answer i was looking for cheers mate ;)rybo

right one is probably a shiny plastisol (rubber) 1 color screenprint, could also be a two screen print (shiny plastisol for the type and waterbased for the middle bit.
the other 2 are likely to be 2/3 colour screenprints as well...
sublimation could only be printed on fabrics that contain polyester until recently, but i have heard it can now be done on 100% cotton as well...
- who the hell would mix plastisol and water based in the same run?epigraph
- quite common, to achieve different textures/handfeel... and shiny and matte partsd_gitale
- if you look close at the right one, type is more shiny and black is deeperd_gitale
- Yeah I def see what you mean about feel and texture, but seems really expensive to mix the two. they dry/cure totally diferently.epigraph
- differently, you couldn't run them on the same press.epigraph
- no prob. flashdry between each screen.d_gitale

Mittle one looks digital printed, its called DTG, Direct to garment, quite cheap actually, although you won't get quite as bright colours as screenprint obviously

hard to tell without looking at the shirt directly, or a higher res photo. Everything there can be done with screenprinting in plastisol, though could be any number of processes.
