Silk Screen Printers

Have you ever wondered how some of the garments you see in outlet stores came to be?  How are they able to create such eye catching prints on clothing?  How can they still look so good after many washes?  Well, it is all possible through silk screen printing.  Silk screen printers are just like any other artists that need to know the ins and outs of the medium they work with.  Knowing how to create high quality prints takes time, finesse, and expertise.  When done correctly, silk screen printing will produce a long lasting, beautiful custom garment for any occasion.

Silk Screen Printers

Screen printing gets its name from the silk mesh screens that are used in the printing process.  These screens are coated in an emulsion that completely blocks the tiny holes in the mesh.  The artwork is separated into layers that contain only one of the colors in the design per layer.  The layers are then individually etched into the screen, exposing the holes in the pattern of the design.  The screens are mounted onto a printing press in sequence and then loaded with the appropriate ink color.  The silk screen printers then load the blank garments onto the press and lay the screen over the fabric.  A squeegee will pull the ink across the screen, depositing a layer of ink onto the garment.  When all of the screens have had a pass of ink, the design is complete and it is ready to be dried and set.

It’s a lot of steps to accomplish at home so that’s why it’s best to let the professional silk screen printers handle the work.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we are more than happy to take on the work so you don’t have to.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about us, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Biologically speaking, the human eye is drawn to flashing light.  As humans, our brains evolved to notice flashing light as way to alert us to things in our environment worth noticing.  It helps keep us safe because it snaps us out of what we were doing to make us aware of something important.  This exact reason is why hazard lights flash and why blinking lights announce the opening of big events.  Knowing all this means that as a designer, you can capitalize on our human nature to bring attention to your artwork.  If you are a custom garment decorator, you can use foil printing services to jazz up your designs and have heads turning to see your pieces.

You cannot deny the appeal of a top quality, custom foil printed garment.  It just oozes luxury because of the shiny metallic design.  You can opt for the classic colors like silver or gold foil, but there are other options too.  You can pick from a number of different color foils in the rainbow, or even pick rainbow foil if you want them all!  At AMBRO Manufacturing, we can offer you our foil printing services for your custom garments.  The process is quite similar to regular screen printing; the foil is applied to an adhesive layer of ink that gets screen printed as though it were a regular ink.  The garment is heat pressed with the foil so that the adhesive binds to the foil and then it is peeled off.  Wherever the adhesive was printed will now be covered in shimmering foil.

With our foil printing services you can choose to go for an only foil design or a mixture of screen printing and foil printing.  Whatever works best for your custom foil printing job, we’re happy to assist you.  You can contact us to place an order, or for additional information, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
