A used cricut machine and an iron can get you there fairly cheaply. Just sayin.

    Monochrome screen printing is messier but still pretty cheap, with better results

    I'm actually quite a fan of screen printing and have done that for a number of my projects in the past. For this I feel it's too much of a cost, emulation is expensive and it doubles the time commitment as I have to make the graphic, print it, make the screen, then ink it. Itd take too much time out of my day and give me too many chances to rethink what I'm doing.

    I'd do it with a DTG printer because using the printer justifies owning it and my practical use for such a device does not justify owning it by any margin.

    I like the idea of Cricut cutters but I have misgivings about vinyl iron ons. They vary heavily on durability and they aren't as breathable as other options. The juxtaposition of high quality materials for unhinged content adds to the absurdity.

    I have a wider vinyl cutter not a cricut but the iron on vinyl now is way better than the old styles. I have washed some dozens of times. But yes still not breathable. I think my favorite was siser brand. Also have a heat press instead of iron I picked up for free.
