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.

Screen Print and Embroidery

Screen Print and Embroidery

Do you own a small business or know someone that has a side business? If you do I bet you have thought of the ways to promote yourself to others. The most common way would be with brochures, pamphlets, and emails, but there is a much more fun way that you can do this. That would be through screen print and embroidery. Wouldn’t you love to see your store name or logo on a tee shirt or any type of accessory? I know I would. AMBRO Manufacturing is a screen print and embroidery company that specializes in all these types of things. AMBRO Manufacturing has been in business for over 25 years.

We have printed thousands upon thousands of shirts and other garments for small business owners with their store name or logo on it. We not only print on shirts but we can print on pants, socks, bags, umbrellas. You name it we can probably do it. The only thing that we would need is the artwork and the garments. If you don’t have any of those we can order the goods that you want and we can help come up with a design that you would like to see on a shirt. One thing to keep in mind is how many colors you want in your print. The more colors you want the more it will be in cost. As for embroidery the amount of colors does not matter. What does matter is how many stitches will make up your logo. You can get either screen print or embroidery or a combination of the two on any garment or accessory you choose.

You can give us a call at (908) 806 8337 or email us anytime with any questions or concerns you have about screen print and embroidery.
