Prints for hats: best newbie methods?

[angusquinas]

Hey All!

First post on the forum. I have been using inkjet-based iron-on heat transfers for printing onto hats, but I'd like to do something better--something that only prints the image colours, white included, but without any of the transparent elements of the image. I'm looking for a reasonably inexpensive way to get into this, or to find a company that can take my designs and produce decals that I can just print on.

Attached is an example of a type of print I'd be happy with. What kind of print is this? Where do I focus my research in general?

I hope the image works :

Thanks All for pointing me in the right direction!

Quick bump on this post--anyone who's read it know where I can find a company who will print decals like this based my own design? Or know what kind of print this is so I can research in the right direction?

Thanks!
