Does anyone do clothes printing?

What do you need to do it? Does it have to be a certain ink and how exactly do you do it?

not transfers, but printing i guess. I've just seen some images that I'd quite like to put on the dc's clothes.
I know that I'd need to get repeats of thr images abd cut out different sections for different colours but is there any other way of doing it?

Do it on computer and then print onto heat transfer paper, and iron on.

Or, using transfer crayons/inks/paints paint it onto paper, then turn over and iron onto garment. You can also use diffuser with inks, and place stencils on, to get cutout effect. However some of these will only work on fabric which has polyester in it.

Or do what you are talking about and cut out stencils, and screenprint, BUT you will need screen, squeegy, and inks which may cost you.

Or fabric paint/pen straight onto garment, but quite hard to get clean outlines with this.

Most of these work best on cotton, or natural fibre rather than manmade

Thanks for the replies.
