Custom T-shirt Screen Printing

Custom T-shirt Screen Printing

I get asked a lot what is screen printing and how can I create a custom t-shirt using it. Well, the true definition of screen printing is when one forces ink or metal onto a surface through a prepared mesh screen so as to create a picture or pattern. So how does this translate into creating a custom t-shirt? You, as the customer, send in the artwork that you wish to be displayed on the shirt. It could be writing or it could a picture. It can be a custom artwork that you created. Whatever it is we can transform it into a screen for printing.

Once your artwork has been chosen and you approve it, it then gets printed onto film paper. That paper then allows us to burn the image you want onto the mesh screen. That mesh screen is placed over top your garment and the ink color you have chosen get swiped across the screen with a squeegee. This process is then repeated depending on how many colors you have chosen. After it has been screened, your garment takes a ride through our dryer which cures the ink and makes it permanent.

Prestige Flags

Prestige Flags

Are you part of a club or maybe your son or daughter is in the military and you’re looking for a coming home gift to let them know you how proud you are of them. You can get the prestige flags. Prestige flags are flags that you have to show off your pride for your team, club, or division or unit.  Here at AMBRO Manufacturing for your prestige flags we use golf flags that are made out of polyester and you can either get them sublimated or screen printed.

Prestige Flags

Sublimation is a digital printing method for transferring images onto something, which in this case is a flag. This is a very unique ability and is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. When the heat and pressure are applied the dye becomes a gas and absorbs into the polyester becoming a part of the prestige flag itself. Sublimation printing is weightless, doesn’t fade or crack and is long lasting.  Screen printing is the printing process where screens are coated with a photosensitive emulsion, dried with a light, and then burned with the artwork. After that process they are loaded up onto the printing press and covered in ink, they are then transferred to the flag.  If you looking to get 1 or 2 prestige flags done your best bet would be to get them sublimated, if you are looking to get 12 or more done then screen printing is the way to go.

An example of a Prestige Flag is say your daughter or son is in the marine’s and you are looking for a way to welcome them back and show them how proud you are of not only him or her but their unit as well. You can get a Prestige Flag screen printed or sublimated with their unit crest and motto in their unit colors. Everyone will be in awe and I am sure your son or daughter will be happy.
