I have very little experience with this..
I use the computer to scale the image to the desired size and print and tape the pages together. Then trace onto Ripstop with the black template pencil.

I would like to try one of the projector methods as well.

Cheers,
Bill

If the graphic is A4 (letter size) try tee shirt transfer paper, I used my computer to print a club logo, ironed it on to white Ripstop about two years ago and its still there.

I did that on a kite for my grand daughter.



Looks good on the ground, but in the air it looks like a dark spot pasted to the kite. She is happy, though, so that works for me.
