Dye sublimation transfers only work on coated surfaces. The dye turns
to gas, soaks into a polymer coating and goes back to solid. So no go.

The other type of heat transfer is a sheet of release paper covered
with a plastisol-type stuff that the ink adheres too, when pressed the
entire plastisol sheet sticks to the Tshirt. So no go with that, either.
