You want to print a color over a white background and have it wash off? Poster paint, let it air dry.

Looking for something in more of a pen or marker format. Poster paint will crack?

Well, Crayola markers wash off of anything. I know, I have a 3 year old.

If I understand correctly, Union makes an ink that you can use chalk on. . .write on, wipes off.

Yeah, years ago in Oakland I used their blackboard ink and printed shirts for hookers so they could post and change the "Daily Special"

I bet I regret posting this  :-[

Andy, I can only hope that is the truth, if so I am moving.  :P

If you are looking for Chalkboard ink you can use Wilflex One Step Nylon Black. It will work as Chalkboard ink.

White board - let me think...

I wasn't aware of that Erin. I have used Union's Chalkboard ink though. Printed baseball scoreboards on kids' shirts so they could keep score during games. Included a piece of chalk with each shirt. I'll look into the One Step Nylon if we keep that design next year.

Does the Chalkboard hold up well after several washings?

OSN Black will hold up after serveral washings.

Here is a recommendation from Wilflex Tech Services:

"The best results were obtained with MVP White / Ath Trophy White.  Print parameters:
 
86-110 mesh
P/F/P - cure
Heat press the print with a Teflon sheet to smooth the surface
 
Good results when wiped clean in less than 6 hours
Faint image is seen if writing is left over night."
 
We suggest testing this ink and process with the specific markers in mind.

Let us know how it turns out...

Heat pressing is a great idea.  That would really give you a smooth surface.

On a related note, since heat presses were brought up, Union (and maybe others) sells an ink for DIY transfers that accepts crayon or markers. It is called Crayon Clear.

We're making and selling the targets, not the guns and ammo. ;D

We do coloring tees for parties and events. Plain white tee with a black imprint usually themed to the event and supply washable markers or invisible ink pens that glow under black light all bagged. We get the markers in bulk from a school supply, case of fifty each, six colors. Color or write on the shirts then wash and reuse.

What a cool idea. Thanks for throwing that out there! ;D
