Methods of Textile Printing

One of the most popular methods of textile printing is screen printing because it’s been around for a long time and it just keeps improving!  Most screen printing is done using plastisol inks because they can easily be reclaimed as they won’t dry up when exposed to air.  When you finish a job you can reclaim the excess ink and use it later which helps keep costs down.  There are other types of ink too, like water based and discharge inks, which are susceptible to drying due to the solvent present in the ink, but the trade-off is a softer hand to the print.  Since water based inks can print over seams, they are a great option for all over and wrap around prints.

There are plenty of other methods textile printing that have nothing to do with screens either.  One such type of printing is a method of digital printing called dye sublimation.  The image gets printed out digitally from a sublimation printer onto a heat transfer sheet and then heat pressed to the garment to create the print; it’s that simple!  If you want to learn more about the different methods of textile printing or you are in need of garment customization, you can come to us at AMBRO Manufacturing!  You can easily place an order, or find out more about our company, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.

Custom Foil

Custom Foil

Do you design custom garments, yet you’re finding your recent designs lacking the luster you want?  Maybe it’s time to think about incorporating some custom foil printed clothing into the mix?  Nothing calls for attention like a sparkling bit of foil and with our custom foil printing services at AMBRO Manufacturing, you can easily take advantage of that in your own designs!  We even offer mixed media prints that combine top notch silk screen printing with gorgeous foil to really pack a punch.

Custom foil prints are produced in a similar way to screen printing, except there’s a little extra to be done.  The parts of the design that are to be foil will get printed with an adhesive ink instead of a colored ink.  The custom foil is then heat applied to the adhesive and with a peeling away of the excess you are left with only your design in glimmering foil!  We can provide with all kinds of foil too, so there will be a perfect match for your custom vision.  On top of regular foil colors like gold and silver, we can do special effects foil and foils with patterns in them too!

You won’t believe how much you can transform a garment with even just a small amount of foil.  A crisp and shining outline to a logo is enough to draw the eye right where you want it to go.  Of course, you could skip the subtle approach and go for big areas of custom foil printing too!  The choice is yours because it’s all custom!  All you need to do to get started is reach out to one of our representatives and we can guide you from there.  If you are interested in placing an order for custom foil printing, or if you would like to learn more about our company and services, you can contact us by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.
