What is "dye discharge" printing, almost sounds like a medical condition

Basically, it's removing the dye that's already in the shirt and replacing it with the colored ink you want. The result is a print that feels just like the rest of the shirt. It's a cool thing but it does require additional steps and precautions due to the chemicals used.
