You could possibly use photo transfer fabric in your printer. I think that the paper runs about a dollar per sheet and it's the size of a reg. sheet of paper. You can get it on line or at a quilt shop. Look here under "search" and put in photo quilts. Just the other day there was a lady who showed us her fantastic photo quilts and maybe if you PMed her, she could give you all the help you need. I would like to make one, but haven't yet. Good luck! Great idea for the teacher!
