For 100 shirts you will be better off hand printing your shirts with an oversized platen. A belt printer would print that order in 15 minutes. A belt printer is an over kill solution for your job and you will have to deal with the buttons. You will have to shelter them somehow.
You can print finished shirts on a belt printer but its real use is cut pieces before they are sewn.
Are you printing something more original than stripes?
