looking at shirts online and the one i want says the design is an ink transfer. Does that mean the shitty iron-on kinda prints, or just normal print ?

its a t-shirt with a graphic on it from a heat press. you print out a graphic or design on a special transfer paper and put in on a heat press and presto! as opposed to a shirt that is silk screened with ink/dye.

thats a heat transfer, an ink transfer may be DTG, which is literally printed on, or it might be ink sublimation

is this the same as printing your own iron on shirt decals?
