All-Over Printed Shirt

All-Over Printed Shirt

Have you heard of oversized screen printing in the past and wondered what its uses are?  Well, it’s a quite simple concept; it is screen printing using silk screens and equipment that are suited for oversized jobs.  What classifies as an ‘oversized job’?  Generally oversized printing refers to anything that exceeds the typical artwork dimensions you would find on the chest or back of a T shirt.  If you want something like an all-over printed shirt, you will need to use oversized screen printing.

All-Over Printed Shirt

The first step towards a custom all-over printed shirt must be finding the right printing company.  Although oversized printing is very commonly used, not every printing company you encounter will be prepared to print at that size.  The investment into making sure you have the proportional equipment and the necessary resources and training is not feasible for every professional printer.  Luckily, you can get you all-over printed shirt right here at AMBRO Manufacturing.  We’ve been in the customized apparel business for over 30 years so we’ve got plenty of tricks up our sleeve when it comes to applying artwork, even if it is jumbo sized!

A custom all-over printed shirt isn’t the only thing you can do with oversized printing of course.  Jumbo silk screen printing can be used for printing all the way down a pant leg or across the back and shoulders of a game day jersey.  We’ve also done plenty of blanket prints of throw blankets and stadium blankets.  So you can start with an all-over printed shirt and grow outwards from there.  Our team is always here to answer any questions you might have and we can guide you through the process to your completed custom goods.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our company and services, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

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.
