Professional Screen Printing

Professional Screen Printing

Silk screen printing is a very commonly used technique for putting custom artwork onto clothing and accessories.  It’s so common, in fact, that there are many different at-home printing kits available to the masses.  The question is, do they work?  The answer to that isn’t a simple yes or no because it depends on the needs of the garment designer.  If you simply want to create simple printed tees at home for your own personal use, then yes it works for you.  If you plan on starting a custom garment decoration company, it is best to get involved with a professional screen printing company.

So why should you choose professional screen printing if you plan to have your own business?  Well, a professional screen printing company will be set up to help you now and will give you the room to grow when your business does.  When you work with us at AMBRO Manufacturing, we keep your artwork on file for future re-ordering ease.  This means over time you can build a portfolio of designs that will be in our records and you won’t have to go through setting up your order from scratch every time.  But that’s only a portion of the benefit you can expect from professional screen printing.

Silk Screen T Shirt Printing

Silk Screen T Shirt Printing

Have you heard of silk screen T shirt printing before, but never known what that meant?  All over the world, every day, countless T shirts are getting silk screened for an endless amount of reasons.  All different walks of life can benefit in some way from silk screen T shirt printing.  Printed T shirts make amazing personalized gifts for friends and family.  For custom garment designers, printed T shirts often make up the bread and butter of their clothing line.  They are found in use with athletic teams for spirit wear or for members in clubs or groups.  Musical bands use them for concert tees and others use them to commemorate special events.  There’s essentially no wrong way to make printed T shirts work for you!

The process behind silk screen T shirt printing is simple to grasp but takes expertise to master.  It all starts out from the design.  The design is separated into layers based on the colors in the design; one layer per color.  The layers are then etched, one by one, into an emulsion on silk mesh screens.  The emulsion blocks the holes in the mesh so that only the areas that you want to print will be uncovered.  The screen is then lined up and laid down on the surface of the garment.  A squeegee pulls colored ink across the mesh and the ink passes through the holes leaving behind the print.  After each screen has applied its part of the design, the image will be complete and ready to be dried.

At AMBRO Manufacturing, we take pride in our top quality screen printing.  Our printing is done in-house so we are able to oversee the entire production process.  We also offer sublimation, embroidery, vinyl, applique, and more.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our services, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
