Silk Screen Printers

Have you ever wondered how some of the garments you see in outlet stores came to be?  How are they able to create such eye catching prints on clothing?  How can they still look so good after many washes?  Well, it is all possible through silk screen printing.  Silk screen printers are just like any other artists that need to know the ins and outs of the medium they work with.  Knowing how to create high quality prints takes time, finesse, and expertise.  When done correctly, silk screen printing will produce a long lasting, beautiful custom garment for any occasion.

Silk Screen Printers

Screen printing gets its name from the silk mesh screens that are used in the printing process.  These screens are coated in an emulsion that completely blocks the tiny holes in the mesh.  The artwork is separated into layers that contain only one of the colors in the design per layer.  The layers are then individually etched into the screen, exposing the holes in the pattern of the design.  The screens are mounted onto a printing press in sequence and then loaded with the appropriate ink color.  The silk screen printers then load the blank garments onto the press and lay the screen over the fabric.  A squeegee will pull the ink across the screen, depositing a layer of ink onto the garment.  When all of the screens have had a pass of ink, the design is complete and it is ready to be dried and set.

It’s a lot of steps to accomplish at home so that’s why it’s best to let the professional silk screen printers handle the work.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we are more than happy to take on the work so you don’t have to.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about us, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Custom Silk Screen Printing

Custom Silk Screen Printing

Have you heard about silk screen printing before, but you don’t really know what that is?  Are you curious as to how it works?  Do you want to know how it can be useful to you?  Maybe you’ve been having trouble finding a company that can do custom silk screen printing?  Luckily, the answers to those problems can be found here.

Custom Silk Screen Printing

Custom silk screen printing is when a custom design is applied in special ink to the surface of a fabric.  A silk screen is covered with an emulsion to block the holes in the mesh.  Components of the design are then etched into the emulsion which allows ink to pass through the screen wherever the design is located.  Depending on the amount of colors in the design, there can be multiple screens used for each color.  During printing, the colored ink is dragged across the mesh on top of the garment.  Wherever the mesh is open, the ink will pass through and leave behind the design.  It’s a lot like using a stencil but it requires a lot more effort and precision to execute a top quality print.  So how can custom silk screen printing be beneficial to you?  Just imagine all the possibilities of having custom garments and accessories.  If you are a custom clothing designer, silk screen printing can take your designs to a commercial level.  If you need spirit wear for the team and their families, custom silk screen printing can do that for you too!
