I am looking to create a pair of bandanas for myself. (See http://www.bcfurries.com/forum/index.php?topic=6599) I need to locate someone with a printer that would be able to print a pattern onto a plain bandana. Alternatively if someone is aware of a local service that would be able to do this that would be helpful.
If you are able to help me with this project I will be happy to compensate you fairly.

if you only want a one / two off print, research a company that makes transfers like those used at a t-shirt shop. sorry i don't know of one but they are out there.  then all you need to do is line up the transfer onto the bandana and get out the iron, or take it to a t-shirt shop and ask them to use their press.

You might already have one.

As a DIY oriented person, the first thing that popped in to my head was InkJet printers. It seems my hunch lead to others thinking the same thing: http://blog.makezine.com/craft/how-to_print_on_fabric_with_an/

The farther one travels, the less one knows.

i was at metrotown today and there is a place called "bang-on" near the bus loop entrance.  they told me that if you bring in a digital pic of what you want to have printed they can do it for you.  of course there is a condition and that is that the item (bandana) be 100% cotton.  i did not ask about cost as each job is different.  good luck
