The only thing I had against Sub style printing on shirts is that polyester is the only shirt you can print on according to vendors. Sometimes inner outer shirts. Most folks want cotton.

We have an Epson 4000 printer using the Tropical dye sub inks. We use the SoftLink shirts which are a tow layer shell shirt. More expensive but cotton against the body and poly on the outside. A nice shirt for short runs but pricy if you get into big orders.

You might also check out http://www.sublimation.info/index.html that's the website of Texas Original Graphics, they have challenged the Sawgrass patent (Sawgrass owns Tropical Graphics now) and have inks available at a much better price than Tropical or Sawgrass. Also check out www.dyesub.org it's a good source of info. The Softlink shirts Bob mentioned are really nice high end shirts.....but miserably hot in the summer, and expensive close to $5 each, but so are the poly shirts.

Sawgrass came out with a system for cotton shirts a few years ago I think it was called Natura but they have informed the people who invested in those special printers that they won't support them anymore.
