Exclamation Help... need direction

Help !
I am an artist that custom paints pillowcases. I want to take my craft to the next level. I have a design that I would like copied to my own pillowcases. The picture has a varity of colors, so screen printing may not be cost effective.
I need a hundred or maybe more at this time.
Is there such a machine that can do this ?
I do not want to purchase a machine, just have them printed.
Thanks for any help that may lead me in the right direction.
JB

If you post a picture of your pillowcase design, we can tell you what the best option for printing it is. Sometimes a design doesn't have as many colors as you think it does.

If the design is very color intensive you might consider DTG printing

The challenge you face is the size of the graphic for direct to garment - it would need to be printed on a 7800/9800 based machine, all the others max out at about 16" or less.

Hope this helps
