      I would say that the most important part of a vintage/comfy shirt is how the ink feels on the shirt. Plastisol is thicker and will not be as good at giving you that soft vintage worn-in feel. Waterbased or discharge ink will blend in nicely with the material and give you the look and feel that you are going for.

      BUT plastisol is a lot more forgiving when you’re a beginner and pretty much will never dry out in your screen. You’ll have to be a lot quicker when printing with waterbased.

      I’m not as sure on what brands/specs to look out for. Maybe you could post your question on our facebook group for that answer?

        Depending on the type of clothe, water base ink and Plastisol actually provides great prints. Just using both of these for just ordinary campaign t-shirts, but all were made through Digitek Print shop http://www.digitekprinting.com/.
