A postscript laser is the easiest. If you go inkjet, you'll also need to buy a RIP to get halftones, and that's not cheap. There are ways to print halftones without a RIP, but the PS laser is still the easiest route. Costwise and large format laser and a large format inkjet + RIP are about the same.
My Oki C8800 is postscript. There are many others. Just make sure it is postscript 3 compatible. Probably looking at somewhere between $1500 and $2000 for a large format laser.
get the book "How to Print T Shirts for fun and Profit" by scot and pat fresner everything you need to know will be in there
