Default help with printing my bright images

Having a really tough time trying to figure out how to print my illustrations of brightly colored images and have them remain brightly colored on dark and bright colored t-shirts/onesies. Been looking on this forum for months and I am getting nowhere. HELP!!

Images are many colors so silk screen is not an option.
also can not find bright colored shirts that are not 100% cotton, and I hear I can cad print but only on 50/50, although not loving the white border around the image. Any other choices out there?

PLEASE help me. thanks for your time.

It depends on which machine/RIP you have, which graphics application you are using, the color profiling, and most importantly which ink you are using.

It does sound like the digital direct to garment printers would be the ideal solution for you for multi-color bright prints for small quantity orders.

If I read your post correctly, you do have one piece of misinformation. The best garments to print on for these printers are 100% cotton. You can print on 50/50 goods but the imprint will look brighter on 100% cotton garments.

really? that's great news. I was told I could only use 50/50. so do you know the best deals out there for digital direct to garment printers? do they sell you the shirts or do I need to find those somewhere else? THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO much. I feel like I am getting somewhere.
