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.

Custom Printed Stadium Blankets for Fundraisers

Custom Printed Stadium Blankets for Fundraisers

One of the best ways to generate interest in fundraisers is to offer some sort of unique merchandise.  People are more willing to spend money when they will receive something back in exchange.  It doesn’t need to be extravagant, even something small can be enough to pique someone’s interest and get them to hand over some money.  Of course, just because it can be small, doesn’t mean it has to be!  A great idea would be to have some custom printed stadium blankets for fundraisers made just for you.

Stadium blankets are specialty blankets that can be used outdoors.  They come in all kinds of shapes, designs, materials, and sizes.  Some stadium blankets feature a waterproof layer on one side to keep you dry during the rain while possessing a fleece layer on the opposite side to keep out the cold.  Some even come with special features like hoods, zippers, and carrying straps.  Custom printed stadium blankets for fundraisers are ideal because the whole family can use them.  There’s nothing like having your own cheering section in the stands showing off team spirit in their custom printed stadium blankets.
