CMYK Screen Printing

CMYK Screen Printing

In the world of custom garment decoration there are two main camps when it comes to printing: silk screen printing versus dye sublimation printing.  Each of these methods carry their own advantages and disadvantages, which matter depending on the design you wish to apply to your garments.  For example, with screen printing, you can’t achieve as much color expression from your prints as with dye sublimation printing.  But there is such a thing as CMYK screen printing that can get a much wider expression of colors out of your silk screened prints.

CMYK Screen Printing

Typically in screen printing, the artwork is separated into layers of color, one color per layer.  Each layer is then burned into a silk screen so it can later have colored ink drawn across it to produce an image.  If you have a logo with two colors, this process is quick and easy.  CMYK screen printing will come into play when you have much more colors than a few solid chunks.  CMYK screen printing works by building the desired color through applying different values of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink.  This process has been in use for many years in various forms of artistic image rendering and it certainly works.

 As you might imagine, CYMK screen printing takes finesse and experience to do it right, so it’s best to leave it to the professionals.  Here at AMBRO Manufacturing we can take care of your CMYK screen printing needs for sure.  We have been in the apparel customization business for over 30 years, so you can trust in our expertise.  If you’re new to custom printing, our support team can answer any questions you might have and help guide you through to a successful product.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

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.
