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.

Custom Folding Chairs

Custom Folding Chairs

Are you a person who loves to go to parades and sit on the sidewalk and watch as all the bands and fire trucks come down the road? Are you a sports parent who goes to their children’s games and cheers them on from the sidelines? If you love doing either of these things then you would most likely always be using a folding chair. As you would know all folding chairs are blank and just one color. Well what if I told you that I can make that solid color folding chair become a custom folding chair with whatever design you want on it? At a screen printing company called AMBRO Manufacturing, we can make all that possible.

Custom Folding Chairs

Custom folding chairs can be made with all your own specifications about design, placement, and ink colors. We can put a team logo, or name on the custom folding chair, or if you have a design that you want specifically we can do that as well. We usually print on the backs of custom folding chairs so that you will see the design when walking toward the custom folding chair. We can also print on the front where your back would touch the chair. We can also just print on the upper portion of the custom folding chair like a director’s chair would have a name on it. The choice is up to you. Keep in mind that based on the material that the chair is it we may or may not be able to print a custom folding chair for you. That is because when we are done screen printing the chair we have to send it through the dryer for the ink to cure and if the material isn’t good there is a chance that it will start to melt as it goes through the dryer.

If you have any questions regarding custom folding chairs you can email us or give us a call at (908) 806-8337 and we will be happy to answer anything you have questions on. Custom folding chairs are a fun personal thing to have so come by AMBRO Manufacturing and get your custom folding chair today.
