Discharge Printing Services

Discharge Printing Services

Have you ever heard about custom discharge printing services?  If you haven’t, then it probably sounds like some kind of science fiction process for printing, but it’s actually quite simple.  You see, in screen printing if you have a dark garment that you want to print light or bright colors on, you need to put a base coat of white ink under the image to make sure it pops.  Additional layers of ink start to add “hand” to the print which can feel stiff or rough which is deal breaker to some custom garment designers and customers.  Discharge printing services can help you get those bright vivid colors on dark fabrics without adding extra layers of ink!

Most screen printing is done using plastisol inks because they are easy to reuse and they won’t dry up when exposed to air.  The problem with plastisol is that you need to cure it with a dryer to set the print and that stiffens the ink and it feels heavy.  AMBRO Manufacturing offers Discharge printing inks are formulated differently and they are thinner than plastisol which allows them to penetrate deeper and across seams more easily.  They also contain a discharge agent that is responsible for removing the dyes already present in the shirt so that you don’t need to create a base layer of ink to get bright results.

Watching discharge printing services in action is like watching a magic show because you apply the inks to the blank garment, send it through the dryer and it comes out on the other side looking ready for the shelves!  Discharge printing is ultra soft so if you want to print your designs with soft hand then you should really give it a try for yourself.  You can easily contact us to place an order, or to learn more about our company and services, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.

Screen printing is the printing process where screens in frames are coated with a photosensitive emulsion, dried with a light, and then burned with the artwork.
