Water Based Screen Printing

Water Based Screen Printing

What works for some people, may not work for other; that is just a reality of the world we live in.  Because of this, we are in world filled with options.  People are always trying to come up with new ways to ‘skin a cat’ so that it works best for them.  In the custom garment printing world, this type of innovation has given us water based screen printing.  Water based screen printing is an alternative way of screen printing your custom garments that comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Water Based Screen Printing

Originally screen printing was done using plastisol inks, which are petroleum based.  Plastisol is great for keeping costs down because they are reusable as long as you properly maintain them.  They won’t dry up in the screens because there is virtually no solvent in them.  The problem with plastisol is that for some customers, the feel of the ink on the garment known as the ‘hand’, is too firm.  For designs that are all over coverage or that have multiple colors, plastisol ink can feel quite heavy and stiff.  Water based screen printing is perfect for those who are looking for a soft, ‘barely there’ feeling print.

Water based inks are susceptible to drying out and as such, are mixed for the amount needed for the job.  Since the inks aren’t reusable, water based screen printing is generally more expensive than printing with plastisol.  At AMBRO Manufacturing, you can have the best of both worlds as we offer screen printing with both plastisol and water based inks.  We also are capable of water based discharge printing too, so don’t forget to ask us about that!  If you are interested in placing an order, or if you would like to find out more about water based printing, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Custom Folding Chairs

Custom Folding Chairs

Are you a person who loves to go to parades and sit on the sidewalk and watch as all the bands and fire trucks come down the road? Are you a sports parent who goes to their children’s games and cheers them on from the sidelines? If you love doing either of these things then you would most likely always be using a folding chair. As you would know all folding chairs are blank and just one color. Well what if I told you that I can make that solid color folding chair become a custom folding chair with whatever design you want on it? At a screen printing company called AMBRO Manufacturing, we can make all that possible.

Custom Folding Chairs

Custom folding chairs can be made with all your own specifications about design, placement, and ink colors. We can put a team logo, or name on the custom folding chair, or if you have a design that you want specifically we can do that as well. We usually print on the backs of custom folding chairs so that you will see the design when walking toward the custom folding chair. We can also print on the front where your back would touch the chair. We can also just print on the upper portion of the custom folding chair like a director’s chair would have a name on it. The choice is up to you. Keep in mind that based on the material that the chair is it we may or may not be able to print a custom folding chair for you. That is because when we are done screen printing the chair we have to send it through the dryer for the ink to cure and if the material isn’t good there is a chance that it will start to melt as it goes through the dryer.

If you have any questions regarding custom folding chairs you can email us or give us a call at (908) 806-8337 and we will be happy to answer anything you have questions on. Custom folding chairs are a fun personal thing to have so come by AMBRO Manufacturing and get your custom folding chair today.
