Are they just using a different powder adhesive for those? We lower are settings for poly when it is necessary, and always lower the time to apply better.  I find they hold up great but on some garments you just can't avoid the press marks (we stay away from textured poly for example).

Thanks all, I passed on the job, it was only one piece plus it was a puffy type vest, but the advice on lower heat time and faster melting powder is good info I will use in the future.

I guess they are, the instructions are different.  On their blocker series, they use a black blocker under the DTF print.  It's been great for troublesome garments.
