Methods of Textile Printing

One of the most popular methods of textile printing is screen printing because it’s been around for a long time and it just keeps improving!  Most screen printing is done using plastisol inks because they can easily be reclaimed as they won’t dry up when exposed to air.  When you finish a job you can reclaim the excess ink and use it later which helps keep costs down.  There are other types of ink too, like water based and discharge inks, which are susceptible to drying due to the solvent present in the ink, but the trade-off is a softer hand to the print.  Since water based inks can print over seams, they are a great option for all over and wrap around prints.

There are plenty of other methods textile printing that have nothing to do with screens either.  One such type of printing is a method of digital printing called dye sublimation.  The image gets printed out digitally from a sublimation printer onto a heat transfer sheet and then heat pressed to the garment to create the print; it’s that simple!  If you want to learn more about the different methods of textile printing or you are in need of garment customization, you can come to us at AMBRO Manufacturing!  You can easily place an order, or find out more about our company, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.

Full Picture T Shirt

Full Picture T Shirt

The warmer weather has finally arrived, and you can wait to get outside and take some nice pictures with your camera. As you look through pictures you have taken or find ones that you love, you decide you want to do something fun with them, but you don’t know what. Instead of just framing them or hanging them up on the walls, you can get them printed on clothes. You look puzzled as you contemplate this new idea, and begin to scour the internet for places that can do full picture t-shirt printing.

Full Picture T Shirt

AMBRO Manufacturing is the one place you can get full picture t-shirt printing done. We use a process called sublimation. This type of printing allows us to print a full color image onto a shirt. The shirt must be white and 100% polyester. This is like painting on a wall where you need a white primer or painting on a white canvas, the colors will pop and be bright. The image you choose to use on the shirt must be high resolution and a large size so that when scaled to the actual area of the shirt it will not be blurry or pixelated. Once we have the shirt and the image you want to use, we then print it on a special transfer paper that when it gets heat pressed onto the shirt it turns into a vapor and will get dyed into the fabric of the shirt, much like tie dying is done.

Be innovative with your art or ideas that you have and get something unique printed with AMBRO Manufacturing. You can give us a call any time at (908) 806 8337 or you can email us and we will get back to you with anything you need to know about full picture t-shirt printing.
