You can use opaque paper (which most people think is poor quality) or invest in a vinyl cutter (a good option for some designs - especially slogan tees for example).

ya true a vinyl cutter is one option i think for this design i am just going to have to pay someone to do it it has 6 colors and a flame that fades yellow to orange. I sent the logo to some transfer companies to get quotes. Is any one working on doing dark transfer paper?

As I said, it already exists - it's just not good.
