Heatpress vinyl such as Thermoflex-Plus works great. Screenprinters have mentioned Distcharge printing but I dont know much about that one. DTG printers are doing white inks but with mixed results. Plastisol transfers for just text are good as well. My favorite is the ease of heatpress vinyl and the superior opacity on dark shirts.

I just did a black shirt with white lettering DTG. I'm still on the fence if I'd sell these, because the white isn't that bright. Partly because it soaks into the fabric.

If you want no touch, you need to get them discharge printed. All of the other ideas suggested will leave a 'hand' to the garment.

DTG does not leave a hand but like I said.. white lettering on black is not as bright as screen printing.
