looks like High Density ink to me . . . somewhat translucent? Could be colored gel.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Ive sen that effect on popular sports retail stuff like Nike, Reebok etc. Always wondered how they accomplished it, someone once told me Nike printers over seas will print a dozen layers with out batting an eye.

I thought high density too. One really needs to charge a lot for that, it's slow, tedious, and expensive. 10 or 20 times the amount of ink you usually lay down, plus making the stencils, proper seps (each subsequent layer choked). Obviously it can be done, but which of your customers will pay for it? We did some about 10 years ago, and people loved it, but no one wanted it. I think it needs the right market.

It's difficult to judge based on the small picture but if it's what I think you're talking about, made well known by the old Ecko shirts, it's Silicone Ink. See: http://dgruike.en.alibaba.com/product/723983757-215326663/textile_heat_transfer_printing_silicone_ink_for_thick_plate.html It's used a lot in printing overseas, especially in Asia.
