Silk-screening is a process that will directly print a given design onto a given
object (passing ink/dye/paint through a screen/number of screens). I presume
Mike means printing directly on the torso after removing any previous design
first. I don't see the point in silk-screening to an intermediary medium
(decal, paper, film, etc.) when that can be done easier through existing
techniques (mostly Paintshop and an ink-jet printer).
