Default Photograph on Black t-shirt

Hi I need suggestions on putting a full color photograph on a black t-shirt. Digital, sublimation, silk-screen which is the best method and what has worked for you?

I would say Digital or traditional will be your best bet. Digital might be cheaper depending on the size of the run.

Traditionally it can be printed as one of the following
4-clr process
simulated process
Index

You can use pigment ink with opaque transfer paper for dark colored garment.

You cannot use sublimation on a dark garment...with any of the opaque papers make sure you trim the image so the white border is not there..because any thing on the transfer will go on the garment when pressed
