There is a few Co.'s that make heat-transferable ribbon for printers like the
Star NX1000 Rainbow...  And there is a company that makes a special paper that
you use regular printing on and THEN iron it to the shirt.
 
My favorite (have not used it but seen end product) is an item that is found
at most Craft stores.  Its like a white glue that you smear onto the item you
want to transfer; i.e. Photos, Laser printouts...  and then lay this glue-ey
item onto the shirt and let dry for 24 hours.  Then the paper is pealed/rubbed
away and you have a clean, clear transfer with bright colors and good detail.
