I think you need to find someone that either does print/cut/sew or a large format screen printer. The design with the large black field will not look good with apparel vinyl.

id also like to know what vinyl i should be using, what im looking for is a non cracking washable long lasting vinyl one which will outlast the clothes themselves if possible not too thick.
I noyl have about £4000 to invets in the business atm so using vinyl was the cheapest way to go out this.
ive been looking over the interenet and i have yet to find someone who does professional designs using this method.
I do screen printing but im not very experienced in it ive tried but i find it very annoying and time consuming trying to mix the right inks and doing it manually

You could do a lot of your designs in vinyl. Btw, nice artwork.
The only issue I foresee is you will have a TON of weeding to do.
There are plenty of soft vinyls out there. Give it a try and see what you think.

The few that I have tried never satisified me when compared to the feel of a direct screen print. I tried the Roland version and some stuff from Sign Warehouse. Just felt like a very cheap cheesy way to get an image onto a shirt.
Good luck with your business venture.

Recommend that you find someone with a cutter and have them print a couple of your prints and see if you are willing to to weed the images. I don't think so.
Best thing might be to bite the bullet and have a small quantity produced of each one in a plastisol transfer.
