Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You can scan the image in photoshop (if you have that program) and make the image what ever way you want to make it look!. Purchase some iron on paper from staples and then mirror the image on your computer so that it will print properly on the iron on paper!. Once you have your image you can iron it on to what ever you want to!.

!.!.!.or you can get a graphic designer to do it for you!.!.!.!.like me! :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

its really simple!.
just get it scanned onto a computer,
(if you dont have a scanner most libraries have access)
and once its on a computer
if you want to change the style of it,
you would most likely use photoshop
but if you just want the picture the way it is
print it out using special adhesive paper
(you can buy it at Micheals, any craft store, Walmart/Zellers)
It comes with instructions on how to iron it on!.
It you'd rather not do it yourself,
there are places that do this profeshionally
just give them the photo and they apply it directly to the fabric
it costs around 5-10$
just look it up the the yellowpages for the place nearest you

"drawing type style print" - what do you mean by this!?

And many shops (even supermarkets) now sell iron-on printing paper - you just print on it using a standard inkjet printer, cut out the shape, and iron it onto a 100% pure cotton T-shirt!.

Alternatively, find a professional print store and have them do it for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Either use liquid light in a dark room if you have the photo negative!. It's an emulsion you can paint onto fabrics and such and print it like a photo

Alternatively scan the photo, photoshop it and give it to a professional printers who can do it for you!. High street ones do it, not just specialists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are many ways to do this!. Most require a fair bit of knowledge and skill that the ameature photographer wont have!. Inkjet iron transfers are an option but the quality isn't great!. If your just looking to do one or two pay someone else to do it!. The iron on paper is gonna cost you 20 or 25 dollars for a pack of ten, but if you only want one you might as well pay someone else to do it for the 20 or 25!. Check the yellow pages or internet, its not hard to find someone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
