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.

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.
