Not sure what you are asking but I don't think you can print on fabric with a laser or inkjet. I could be wrong can you be more specific.

Google/You Tube "Siser Easy Subli" as this is probably your easiest route in to printing on dark garments and all you need is a different paper as it will use your existing sublimation printer and inks

While the OKI printers series are very good it is a completely different process and I suspect as a "newbie" it might not be the best route right now.

I was going to suggest ( Sister easy subli), I had one off Magic Touch which was great, easy to print but at times frustrating geting to go on what ever it was needed. Socialgiraffe is correct in saying as a newbie you will be pulling your hair out.
