What/How to do this?

I'm looking to basically get pictures printed/transferred onto t-shirts & hoodies (dark and light color shirts)

I use 100% cotton tees, Hanes 4980 to be exact. Can I do Dye Sublimation on these 100% cotton tees, has that been made possible by the industry yet? I think my only option left is Dye Sublimation, so what polyester shirts are good substitutes for the Hanes 4980 and yet vary in the colors black, white, blue, red, grey, and burgundy-ish? Please list the exact product names. I'm looking for t-shirt and hoodies as well.

I do not want to use heat transfers that will fade after a few washes (ex: Avery), nor spend tens of thousands of dollars on a DTG printer. What can I do to print on 100% cotton, or if that's not possible, what are the best polyester tees & hoodies you'd recommend using?

As far as I'm aware sublimation works best on polyester garments. You can you 50/50 blends but 100% polyester will enable a brighter print. You also need to use white for sublimation as all the colour comes from the printing.
