I've been lurking around the net for a bit, but still can't find any info on how to print photos onto t-shirts.
Similar to the ones like these:

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have some really dope pictures I've been taking,but I want to find a way to get them printed onto t-shirts. Any help appreciated.

Dont use cafe press, they use heat transfers, use DTG printing or 4 color process

they hold up like iron ons, because thats basically what they are. the high quality ones can survive a few washes, but the damage/fading is way worse than any wear and tear on a screened shirt.

Heat transfer is definitely the cheapest way. If you want a higher quality product you should silkscreen. You can get your photos color separated and do a 15 color set up for a super clean photo print.

Alternatively you could break up your image into CMYK components to save money one screens/set up charges. If you do a CMYK, I would still do a 9 color CMYK, with two sets of CMYK break downs, (light and dark Cyan, light and dark magenta, light and dark yellow, black, neutral gray, and white). The image will have more depth and the CMYK will blend more gradually which will make the image looks better. I worked at a silkscreening shop for 2 years and specialized in high detail photo prints.

screen printing photos is a huge investment, money and time wise. if you just want to print a few, look for some local direct to garment (DTG) printers, and get some quotes/conversations going. : )
