Contract Discharge Printing

Contract Discharge Printing

Are you a fan of screen printing, but you wish there was a way to get a softer hand to your prints?  Well, luckily for you, there is such a way to get those ‘barely there’ graphics onto your custom garments!  You can jump into contract discharge printing and feel the difference immediately.  Contract discharge printing uses water based inks instead of the typical plastisol inks, which leaves a different, softer feeling on the garment that many people love.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me explain how the inks work differently.  With plastisol inks, there is virtually no solvent and adequate heat is required to cure and set the ink.  Water based inks contain solvents, often times including water, which must be evaporated to set the print.  Since water based inks are susceptible to drying out, they cannot be reused like plastisol inks and are more expensive.  The benefit, however, is that the dye can penetrate deeper into the fabric and deposit the color while producing that softer touch that is so desirable.  Plastisol inks only remain on the surface and become rigid after curing.

Contract discharge printing is just an extension of water based ink screen printing where a discharge agent has been added to the ink.  Discharge printing works by removing the preexisting color from the garment via the discharge agent.  If you tint the ink containing the discharge agent, you can simultaneously take out the old color and input your own new color!  So, in the battle of plastisol inks versus water based and discharge inks, there is not clear winner.  It all depends on your customization needs and aspirations.  If you work with us at AMBRO Manufacturing, you won’t have to choose because we can offer you both!  You can contact us to place and order, or to find out more about our company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Custom Stadium Seats

Custom Stadium Seats

Sports season is starting to get into full swing. That means it is time for you to get all your apparel and items for your favorite team. Sitting on the bleachers at baseball or soccer games can start to get tiresome. Stadium seats would be a great thing to have. You don’t have to settle for the generic blank color when you can get a custom stadium seat.

Custom stadium seats can be designed with the team logo or name, or even your favorite player’s name and number. You can order the seat in the color of the team. You can get just a cushion seat or one with a back on it. When we print stadium seats we will need the design that you want or we can help come up with one if you don’t have one in mind already. Most seats get printed on the back so that when you sit in them you will still be able to see the logos. There is no restriction of where to print, if you wanted the design to be where you sit or on the part your back touches then we can also do that as well.

You can choose however many colors you would like, but remember the more colors you choose for screen printing the more it will cost because our pricing is by how many colors you want in the logo. We can print as big as the fabric of the seat allows us.

So get a kick start into the sporting season and by getting custom stadium seats made. AMBRO Manufacturing will make it the best stadium seat you ever sat in or came across. You can give us a call at (908) 806 8337 or email us and we will be happy to help you with any questions or an order.
