unless I would shamelessly want to waste company resources by using one of our office printers

Well, you'll be bringing in your own print stock, and you could bring your own ink cartridge too or make piece with the boss to let you use it for a donation to the office kitty or a copy for him or whatever.

As for professional stuff, a number of years ago I designed a shirt that was silk-screened and sold to members of a group I was in. It's probably too much of a set-up charge to use that technology for a small run. Perhaps the places you were reading about are basically a more refined version of the do-at-home technology. You could certainly send the graphics ready made and not worry about their use of fonts. And I mentioned how I got around the width of the page issue; I just put multiple pieces on different places on the shirt.

A final idea: there are cloth marker pens and paint. I had a couple shirts done that way a long time ago. Rather than the typical hand-drawn style art, you could use a stensil or tracing and do it that way.

Or, you could even try a wax negative technique. Trace the text, then paint out the =background= with wax and dye the text. Then peel the wax off after softening it with a little heat.
