Discharge Screen Printing

Discharge Screen Printing

So let’s talk screen printing.  Firstly, what is it?  Screen printing, at a glance, is applying ink to the surface of a garment through silk screens.  The screens have designs etched out in an emulsion that covers the holes in the mesh.  Once all the layers of the design have been applied, the garment can be dried and it is ready to hit the market.  If you’ve been researching around, you might have heard about discharge screen printing.  You may be wondering what that might be and how it is different than other screen printing.

Discharge Screen Printing

Originally, practically all screen printing was done with plastisol inks.  Plastisol inks are made from PVC and contain virtually no solvent, which means that they won’t dry up when left exposed to the air.  They are user-friendly inks that can be re-used over and over again with no degradation in quality.  For some, however, the ‘hand’ that plastisol inks leave behind is unappealing.  Also prints printed with plastisol inks cannot be ironed as it will re-melt the ink.  Luckily, screen printing with plastisol inks isn’t the only option around anymore.  With discharge screen printing, you can get a whole new look for you custom goods.

Discharge screen printing is a method of printing that uses water-based inks to create the image.  The ink is specially formulated to remove the existing color in the garment, the ‘discharge’ step, and then apply a new color in its place.  This method leaves behind a very soft ‘hand’ which many people like for their prints.  If you are interested in having your own custom discharge screen printing projects done, I urge you to come visit us at AMBRO Manufacturing.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our company and services, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Relabeling T Shirts Service

Starting your own clothing line is becoming more and more popular among people today. Having a little side business, making clothes, and finding the right group to sell them to. If this is any interest to you then continue reading on about relabeling t shirt services.

Relabeling T Shirts Service

AMBRO Manufacturing can provide you with relabeling t shirt services. If you don’t know what this kind of service is I can tell you. You would want to buy a t shirt with a removable tag. Then you would need to provide us with the new label with your logo and all the correct specifications on the size of the shirts, and how to clean them, just the same as what is in a normal t shirt tag but with your own logo on it. We would need a label for each of the sizes that you would want to have made. Next we then will rip out the old tag and screen print the new one on. If you don’t have a shirt that the tag can be ripped out from and they are printed on we can print a black or the same color block over top the existing tag and then print your label over top that. There are many ways we can make your shirts seem like they came from your direct company.

You can have any number of color inks for your relabeling t shirts but most labels are one or two colors. The labels have to be small inside the back of the t shirt so you would want any important information to be clearly legible. When you are ready to start your own clothing line or have one in the works come to us to print your t shirt labels and make it official. You can email us or give us a call at (908) 806 8337.
