Contract Discharge Screen Printing

If you’re thinking of starting up a business that offers custom screen printed garments, the best way to get established is by using a contract screen printer.  With a contract screen printer, you can take production woes off of your plate and just deal with the business of designing!  When you’re getting started, the last thing you want to deal with is getting backed up with orders and starting off with bad customer experiences.  A professional printer can keep the supply up with the demand so that you can give your clients a positive experience and grow your brand confidence.

Contract Discharge Screen Printing

At AMBRO Manufacturing we can of course offer you traditional screen printing with plastisol inks but did you know that we can provide you with contract discharge screen printing too?  Contract discharge screen printing uses water based inks which differ largely from the typical plastisol inks.  Water based inks leave much softer prints on custom printed garments that many people prefer.  Discharge printing is screen printing with a water based ink that has an added discharge agent which will remove the pre-existing color from the garment and replace it with a color of your choice.

So, why delay any longer?  Come visit us at AMBRO Manufacturing to see how we can help you with your contract screen printing needs.  We have been in the garment customization industry for over 30 years so you can count on our quality and expertise.  We have plenty of customization services at our disposal to make the best custom garments you could imagine; all you have to do is reach out to us!  You can contact us to set up contract discharge screen printing, or to find out more about our company and the services we offer, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Discharge and Water Based Printing Services

Discharge and Water Based Printing Services

When it comes to print custom clothing, it’s always good to have options.  As you may already know, certain designs need the right mixture of services to be realized on a garment.  Most screen printing in America is done with plastisol inks because they are cost effective and easily reused without detriment to the pigment.  Generally, people don’t notice the feel of the print, also known as the ‘hand’, on their garments.  Some lightweight fabrics or garments with many colors printed on them tend to have a more obvious ‘hand’ which may be unpleasant to some.

Discharge and Water Based Printing Services

Discharge and water based printing services are alternative options to plastisol printing.  One of the benefits of using water based inks is the soft ‘hand’ it leaves on the fabric.  Water based inks are much thinner than plastisol inks and because of this, you can barely feel the print on the fabric.  So if you have picky customers at your custom garment store that complain about ‘weighty’ prints, water based printing will quiet them down.  Discharge printing is water based printing with a discharge agent added to the ink.  When the discharge ink is printed and then run through a dryer, the discharge agent removes the existing dye from the fabric.  If you tint the discharge ink you can simultaneously remove the old color and apply a new color in its place!

Discharge and water based printing services generally cost a little more because water based ink has a short shelf life; once you mix a batch, you must use it before it expires.  However, sometimes your designs call for specialty services so it’s important to find a printing company who can help you out.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we can hook you up with our discharge and water based printing services!  You can contact us for any questions or concerns, or to find out more about or company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
