70. Iron onto clothes, hats, canvas bags, pockets, ties, etc... -- Here's how
It's a long story as to why I know this, but you can iron-on images in different ways depending on the fabric you're using.

For 100% cotton, you can use "transfer paper" from office supply stores, which leaves a stiff, plastic sort of coating over the image.

For polyester, some printers can take special "sublimation ink" (certain Epson and Canon types); this comes out soft, but I'm not sure how dark it'd end up even on polyester.

There are also pens made by "Sulky," available in craft stores, which create an iron-on image just by drawing over an image on paper.

(You could also use fabric paint and a stencil.)

(Or, just print it on a sheet of self-adhesive address labels and put it on your pocket or collar.)
