Is this even possible?

I know that natural fabrics (cotton, viscose etc) require a reactive dye and an
alkaline fixative.

That's true for proper printing (along with other dyes)
However if the T shirt is synthetic then sublistatic dyes can be used. See
here for example:

(Unfortunately in Italian) Basically you print a special paper using a
suitable printer with the dyes, then using heat tranfer the image to the
cloth.

Your local office supply and local computer stores will have t-shirt
transfer printing stock. You print a reverse image on them and then
iron them on to a t-shirt or other cloth. We've done successfully
numerous times over the years with Canon and Lexmark inkjet printers.

The hard part is folding them up to go through the printer. Sometimes the
sleeves snag on the side

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Use the iron on sheet transfers then wash them with a vinegar mix inside
out.

I've used the A4 aheets that you then iron on to the fabric. I've done
this with cotton T-shirts and the original ones still have a good
picture, after heavy wear and much washing.
