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.

All Over Shirt Printing

All Over Shirt Printing

If you are on the hunt for a company capable of doing all over shirt printing and you haven’t found one yet; you are not alone.  It seems like it should be an easy shift from standard size printing to oversized printing, but it takes the right stuff to pull off.  Other printing companies out there are either unequipped or unwilling to take on all over shirt printing.  At AMBRO manufacturing we don’t shy away from oversized printing; we embrace it so that our customers can reap the benefits.

All Over Shirt Printing

All over shirt printing is essentially oversized screen printing, but it specifically references printing all across the surface of a T shirt.  Whether it is seam to seam on a T-shirt or on a huge item like a blanket, this type of printing requires custom large format screens.  Not only do you need screens big enough to cover the entire print area, but you also need the right accompanying equipment to burn the image onto the screens and mount the large frames for printing.  So you see, there’s more to it than just making a larger screen.  We at AMBRO Manufacturing have been in the customization business for nearly 30 years so we have the expertise to pull off top quality all over shirt printing.

With tons of colors and the ability to mix and match our customization services, you will have no trouble crafting amazing custom garments.  All you need is your artistry and creativity to bring to your designs and we can take care of all your production needs.  Come check out our facility and see what we can do for you.  If you would like to place an order for all over shirt printing, or if you would like to know more about our other services, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
