Haines has a T-ShirtMaker Software package for ink-jetprinters. http://www.hanes2u.com/
Hewlett-Packard, Canon, and a few others make T-shirt Transfer paper. I have used it, expensive and you have to have a good hot iron. Takes some practice but can produce some nice t-shirts.
Do not know about tiles, usually that is accomplished with a printable watercolor transfer paper. You print backwards and then place on a wet tile and rub to transfer. Difficult to use and usually does not create sharp images.
I did some tiles in past but I used a Silk Screen kit from Speedball, cost me about $30. I do not know if they have a Web Site but you can find their supplies in any online artstore.
Here is a company that can do it all for you.

When you transfer artwork to any wood based item, you have a different set of archival problems. The Wood contains acids that will destroy most colors and is so porous it often causes cracking and so on. If you paint with say acrylic, you gesso the board and then apply a substrate with your artwork on it. I have an industrial Giclee printer that I print my image on watercolor paper and then glue to a gessoed board with acrylic medium. I press the work and when dried I then apply a coat to make the artwork permanent. Not the cheapest method.
There is also a clear Epoxy Resin that can do the same. You have probably seen a picture affixed to a piece of Redwood with that supper slick appearance. You coat the board with the resin, then affix your artwork. Later you pour another coat over the artwork and it is sealed permanently. I understand it is pretty tough stuff and lasts a long time. I am sorry I have forgotten the name of the resin. It is expensive.
Beyond Silk screen the two above methods are the most frequently used.
There is also another around about method. You create the board to size, then spray a coat of clear wood sealer, shellac or poly-urethane. You apply a t-shirt transfer, and then apply a second coat of sealer to encase. This is tricky since you need to affix the artwork or it will smear.
There are crafters out there that have other methods that I do not know.
