Contract Discharge Printing

Contract Discharge Printing

Are you a fan of screen printing, but you wish there was a way to get a softer hand to your prints?  Well, luckily for you, there is such a way to get those ‘barely there’ graphics onto your custom garments!  You can jump into contract discharge printing and feel the difference immediately.  Contract discharge printing uses water based inks instead of the typical plastisol inks, which leaves a different, softer feeling on the garment that many people love.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me explain how the inks work differently.  With plastisol inks, there is virtually no solvent and adequate heat is required to cure and set the ink.  Water based inks contain solvents, often times including water, which must be evaporated to set the print.  Since water based inks are susceptible to drying out, they cannot be reused like plastisol inks and are more expensive.  The benefit, however, is that the dye can penetrate deeper into the fabric and deposit the color while producing that softer touch that is so desirable.  Plastisol inks only remain on the surface and become rigid after curing.

Contract discharge printing is just an extension of water based ink screen printing where a discharge agent has been added to the ink.  Discharge printing works by removing the preexisting color from the garment via the discharge agent.  If you tint the ink containing the discharge agent, you can simultaneously take out the old color and input your own new color!  So, in the battle of plastisol inks versus water based and discharge inks, there is not clear winner.  It all depends on your customization needs and aspirations.  If you work with us at AMBRO Manufacturing, you won’t have to choose because we can offer you both!  You can contact us to place and order, or to find out more about our company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Embroidered T-Shirts

Embroidered T-Shirts

Embroidery is a classic style of garment decoration.  It brings the charm of past times but can still look fresh and modern. Embroidery is often found on blankets, polos and bags, but it can also look great on T-shirts.  You will see logos, monogrammed initials or names, and neat designs on a tee.  It can be look elegant with script or bold with block lettering.  Embroidered T-shirts are certainly not just for your grandparents!

Modern day embroidery technology has made being creative with thread a breeze.  You can take a logo, image or name and have it digitized into a format that can be automated for embroidery.  There are limitations on how fine of detail can be reproduced with embroidery thread, but with this kind of decoration it’s all about the overall impression.  Since the thread physically stands out on the fabric, it has a presence unlike printed designs.  It creates its own highlights and shadows that make the design pop out and look luxurious.  Embroidery is durable and long lasting.  Custom embroidered T-shirts are perfect for a brand that wants to portray that upscale casual look to their name.  The convenience of a T-shirt with the class of a fine garment!  Are you wondering where you can obtain your own custom embroidered T-shirts?  Well, stop wondering because AMBRO Manufacturing is just the place to find them.  We have a New Jersey based screen printing, embroidery and sublimation company with the experience to meet your needs.  You can come to us for a one-stop shop for your custom logo essentials.  We can even digitize your logo too!
