This is a thread about t-shirt printing techniques.
I'm generally quite displeased by a great deal of things. I'm also quite extrovert about these ideas, befitting of an angry teen, but perhaps less flattering of a man in his mid-30s. Regardless, I'm still quite upset about things, and I occasionally print t-shirts with my favourite slogan of the week (after this recent failed election, it was "this country is going to hell again", since I remember how it was last time around that certain political party was in power). But, although my technique of printing t-shirt (antagonistic or otherwise) has improved greatly over the years, I'm looking for a somewhat more professional way of doing it. One that you can still do from your home, but neater and faster than cutting out a mask and dutting with a sponge.
I need to tell people RIGHT NOW that their opinon sucks, and I'm clearly enlightened. Or some other crap. Or just that I viciously HATE that commercial radio station they always play at the gym. I have a brainful of anti-slogans, but am lacking in technique. I need a method that is fast. One I can use to oppose the political agenda of the day, or if you prefer, the latest whatever-band-is-in-fashion.
Links are appreciated.

Well, yes, but they don't do single prints do they?
[Edit]
...that's affordable, I mean. Everything is affordable if you make 100 of them. But I clearly won't.

I see. I can get a lovely black longsleeve T with my preferred anti-capitalist anti-globalist logo of choice for only $23.99. I bet the gods of irony are pissing themselves right now.

See, that would set me back about 17 years in my persistent agitation, and several steps in technique. But I do appreciate the humour. I'm not just an angry bastard with a pen. I'm an angry bastard with a printer.

You've got it all wrong. It's not Rebels 'R' Us Inc Logos, it's voicing general displeasure about the very same, and how to quickly and efficiently print it on already-owned cloth. As cheaply as possible. And, preferrably, while grunting about hidden political agendas.

No you got it wrong. The revolution is over. This is as cynical and angry as it gets.
