DTG absorbs into the fibres and shows the weave. Vinyl sits slightly above the fabric. Sublimation dyes the fibres with no hand feel. Embroidery is raised thread with visible stitch direction. Puff print is physically raised foam. Most sellers never specify which — and that is exactly why their mockups look generic.
