Customize shirts at fairs another great idea. Price is still really high for what you get. Printing on black shirts is still horrible with the T-jet atleast.

I agree that most machines are not -great- for large orders (over 100 or so).
For Darks and Colors the machine will put down a white-base which causes the machine to do 2 passes, one for white and one for color.
They do have multihead machines that are much faster, and also oversized machines that can do oversized prints or multiple shirts at one time.
Now, the problem with printing white is that depending on the machine and the printer you can get varrying results due to the inconsistency of the pre-treatement and practice needed for printing with white ink.
There are several
DTG printers here who have T-Jets,
DTG Kiosks and Kornits who produce great prints on dark and black colored T's.
Check the
DTG part of the forum for samples.
