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. We are located in Flemington, New Jersey and can ship out to anywhere in the country.

Water Based T Shirt Printing

Water Based T Shirt Printing

For most custom printing needs, plastisol inks will suffice.  Screen printing with plastisol inks is very common in the apparel decoration world because it’s easy and affordable.  Plastisol inks contain virtually no solvent so they are not susceptible to drying out in the open air.  Since they won’t dry up you can leave them on the screen and reclaim at will for reuse which keeps costs low.  However, as with anything, there are drawbacks involved.  When plastisol inks are dried, they stiffen up and the more ink you have on the shirt, the heavier it feels.  For some designs or garments, plastisol inks don’t have a noticeable effect, but that’s not going to be true for them all.

Water Based T Shirt Printing

Water based T shirt printing is a different way of screen printing because the inks don’t behave the same way.  With water based T shirt printing you get much softer prints due to the low viscosity inks.  Since water based inks contain a solvent, which is generally water, they are susceptible to drying out and thus each batch must be mixed for one-time use.  The tradeoff is that the ink is capable of penetrating deeper into the garment, which is ideal for all over printing that goes across raised seams.  Also you are free to work with lightweight and flowy-style garments because you don’t need to worry about heavy plastisol prints.

You can even use water based T shirt printing to remove the existing color and put in your own custom color in one step by adding a discharge agent to the ink mixture.  If you are curious about all that you can do with water based T shirt printing, you can come to AMBRO Manufacturing to find out more.  You can contact us to place an order, or to speak with a representative, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
