Default Printing Custom Shirts at Festivals/Craft Shows

I will be selling stock transfers at an upcoming Fourth of July Festival. However, I'm interested in selling custom transfers (cars in the Car Show/Kids Pics/etc) on site. What is the best type of printer, inks, and transfer paper (no window showing) to do this? I have a laserjet but it is too big to take to shows. I print mostly on 50/50 white shirts. I have really been looking at Sublimation but having had ink jets in the past and knowing how they clog, I fear investing in sublimation and having the nozzles clog on me. I also would have to reinvest in inventory of polyester shirts. Seems to costly at the present time. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

We do personalized items at events (mousepads, coasters, koozies, and now with the new JPSS we can do t-shirts) ... we have an Epson C88+ with the Durabrite inks, alont with the Jetprosoftstretch paper ... we have had no problems with clogging since switching to this paper ... last year we used Ironall paper and that we had alot of issues with clogging! Good Luck!
