plastisol ink, which most t-shirts are printed with need solvents or screen wash for cleanup. you need very good ventilation because these are pretty toxic chemicals. Also, these inks need to be heat-cured using a flash dryer.
You can use water-based ink, but it won't be as colorfast as plastisol, but cleanup is a breeze with water and you can heat-cure them with a regular household iron or heat gun. Water-based inks are generally recommended for light colored shirts as they aren't very opaque though. By a kit and give it a shot.
