Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You print onto the transfer sheet!. With an inkjet printer of course, not a laser!.
Then iron the transfer onto the Tshirt, printed side down!. The tshirt should be washed, clean and pre-ironed!. (Washing a new Tshirt removes some of the size or stiffening they put on them when they are new, so the transfer doesn't stick to this and wash off later)!.
The transfers will come with full instructions!. Get two to be on the safe side, in case any part of the process comes out wrong!.
If the picture has a lot of deep colours, it will use a lot of ink, so make sure the ink cartridges won't run out halfway through!.
Very fine detail on the picture will not show up, as the Tshirt material is a bit rougher than paper!.

If the first one works out ok, you can use the second transfer sheet to make small pictures for the sleeves as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those don't work that great, but if you are in a hurry, just follow the directions!.

If you have a few days, there are several sites (google it) that allow you to upload a jpg and they send the shirt to you!. I have seen them and they look pretty good!. If you are near a city, there is probably some t-shirt shop that could do the same thing for you in a matter of hours!.

It all depends on your deadline and your quality expectations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No special instructions!. Just get the transfer paper and print directly on it!.
The secret is when you iron it on the T-shirt!. Just follow the amount of transfer heat as instructed on the paper itself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

when you buy the transfers there are instructions in the pack!. Make sure you print in reverse and before you iron it on trim all the excess off!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im not sure if it would work but you could lay the monitor flat and iron the t shirt on itWww@QuestionHome@Com

you just follow the directionsWww@QuestionHome@Com
