little help with image for printing a t-shirt

[haco]

hey folks,
i need some little help here. the problem is that i want to make a t-shirt, but the company said: "we can not print scales. we can only print full color like 100% white or such.". the image itself isn't colored, it's black and white (something like a monochrome bitmap), but could someone help me with this or write some tips? still not sure what to do. thanks

When they say they can't print scales.. I presume that's not like animal scales. Do they mean Gradients?

 

[haco]

yes, i think they mean gradients

They only print like words and stuff.
You need to go to a spacial place where they can print colored images.
Or you can paint it :/

For t-shirt printing, there's two main methods.
-Heat Transfer Printing (printing images with gradients/tones, like a photograph)
-Silk Screen Printing (printing flat colours)

Since your's a black and white image, you can either silk screen print
black(ink) on a white shirt or, white(ink) on a black shirt.

Good luck!
