Custom Foil Printing

Custom Foil Printing

If you’ve been doing custom screen printing for a while, it can get a little monotonous.  There are ways to spice up your designs by thinking outside the box.  Let’s take custom foil printing for example.  Custom foil printing isn’t too much different than typical screen printing, so you won’t need to learn anything new to be able to add a touch of shine to your designs.  The main difference is that instead of printing an ink color, a clear adhesive ink is used instead.  You can then heat press a custom foil sheet to the adhesive so that when you peel it away, only your artwork is left foiled!

Custom foil printing is an instant upgrade to a blank garment because it looks expensive.  Some of the finest things in the world come polished and shiny, so foil evokes that sense of luxury at a fraction of the cost for the real thing.  Here at AMBRO Manufacturing we can even do mixed media printing that pairs classic screen printing alongside custom foil accents to create truly intriguing designs.  Of course, if you really want to sparkle, you can just do the whole design in foil!

Now if you’re only imagining gold or silver foil prints, you’re missing out on the big picture.  Foil can come in all colors of the rainbow as well as custom patterns or special effects like holographic and prismatic too.  There are so many gleaming options that you’ll probably find it hard to settle on just one!  So if you’re all revved up to try out your own custom foil printing, we at AMBRO Manufacturing are ready to help you achieve that goal.  You can contact us to place your order, or to find out more about our company and all of our customization services available, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.

Discharge Printer

Discharge Printer

Do you need a custom discharge printer for your garments?  Are you even familiar with what a discharge printer might do?  Well if you are interested in creating your own custom garments, you might want to stick around to find out!  Discharge printing is a type of screen printing that uses a special formulation of water based ink to apply custom designs to cotton fabrics.  It’s just like other types of screen printing, meaning it uses screens like stencils to apply ink to the surface of a garment, but the ink is the major difference!  Discharge inks are simply water based inks with an added discharge agent, but it makes quite the difference.

What’s the purpose of the discharge agent?  Well normally if you use plastisol inks on a dark garment and you want a bright and vivid print, you need to print a layer of white underneath to enhance the colors that will be printed on top of it.  With a discharge ink you can remove the existing color from your garment while depositing the desired color at the same time.  Since it’s a water based ink, it’s much softer than plastisol inks so this type of printing is perfect for lightweight fabrics or prints with all over coverage.
