I had some printer paper that was iron on transfer!. It felt ok to me as it pressed the ink into the material!. Check Staples or the like for such paper!. Go somewhere where you have service reps that know whats what!. get a few different types if you are not sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have seen shirts dyed by brush painting regular dyes on, kind of like water colour!.
You still need to do the fixation chemicals!.
There is a dye product called sulphur black which is the industrial dye for black socks!. It is two part!. The first part is a pale beige colour and the second phase is trating that with a suphate to turn it black and fix it into the cotton!.
Other than that may you should see somebody who does silk screen work!.

There are disperse dyes available that work as transfers but they are really meant for synthetics like polyester!. You can even get them as crayons!.
