Wholesale Discharge Screen Printing

Wholesale Discharge Screen Printing

Do you have your wholesale goods customized with screen printing?  If you do, odds are that you deal with plastisol inks.  Plastisol inks are the industry standard because they are affordable and easily reused.  Since they contain virtually no solvent, they aren’t susceptible to drying out.  This means they can be left on the screen without fear of drying and any excess ink can be reclaimed for future printing.  On the other hand, plastisol inks are really microscopic solid pigments so when they dry on a garment, they leave a firm ‘hand’, which is the feel of the print on the fabric.  For some end-users, a firm hand is not desirable and instead they choose to go with wholesale discharge screen printing.

Wholesale Discharge Screen Printing

Wholesale discharge screen printing is an alternative to printing with plastisol ink that leaves an ultra-soft hand that you won’t even notice!  The reason why is because this type of screen printing uses a water based ink that contains a discharge agent.  Water based inks contain a solvent, typically water, so it is much thinner than plastisol ink.  The discharge agent added to the ink removes the pre-existing color and replaces it with the new color that you want.

Wholesale discharge screen printing does cost more than plastisol because unfortunately, it isn’t reusable due to the solvent.  Each project must have the necessary amount of ink required for the job because waste ink cannot be reclaimed.  The trade off, however, is a super soft print that is perfect for lightweight garments and all over printing.  If you are interested in doing your next project with discharge screen printing, you can come to AMBRO Manufacturing to have it done right!  You can contact us to place your order, or to find out more about our company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Screen Printing Services

Screen Printing Services

It should come to no surprise that screen printing is one of the most popular ways to customize clothing.  You can see it practically everywhere you go, whether it is on pants, shirts, backpacks, jackets, or any other type of garment.  But did you know that ‘screen printing’ is more of a general term to describe a whole range of varied screen printing services?  Screen printing is a method of applying custom designs to garments by using coated silk screens to administer ink to the fabric.  The type of screen printing is determined by specifics like the type of ink, the dimensions of printing, and specialty techniques needed.

For example, oversized screen printing is one of the more popular screen printing services you can choose.  Oversized screen printing is for artwork that exceeds the dimensions of a traditional ‘standard’ size print, like for blankets and all over T shirt prints.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we have a myriad of screen printing services that we’ve picked up and perfected over the 30 years we’ve been in the business.  We offer services such as foil printing and printing with water based and discharge inks.  These types of specialty screen printing services aren’t often available at the same facility so you won’t have to worry about locating a company for each service if you come to us. 

We may have tons of customization services to offer, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be overwhelmed.  Our support team is always standing by ready to answer your questions and help guide you through the process.  With so much to offer, you will be planning your next project before the previous one is done!  If you are interested in taking advantage of our screen printing services, or if you would like to know more about us, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
