This technique uses a different type of ink all together. Yes it is more eco friendly,
and feels much much nicer. Essentially this technique uses ink to dye the fabric directly.
Pros: Hands down waterbase printing creates a softer feel on the shirt. Gives shirts more of a vintage look.
Downside: It is more expensive, limited ink colors, and doesn’t work on all fabrics(works great on cotton, and some blends), and color matches are not guaranteed.

Pros: great for full color prints, vibrant colors, low minimum orders
