Dye Sublimation

Dye Sublimation

Have you ever seen a print on a tee shirt that takes up the entire front and back of the garment? If you have and are wondering how it is made then I will be able to help you out. There are many screen printing companies around that can print tee shirts very easily, but there are few that can make an all over printed tee shirt. AMBRO Manufacturing is one of those companies that can make all over prints.

Dye Sublimation

We have been in business for over 30 years and keep moving in the direction of doing all over prints. One of our techniques to print tee shirts this was is through dye sublimation. The process of printing this way is a bit different from normal screen printing. Dye sublimation is a technique that when the ink hits the fabric it will turn into a vaper and get dyed into the fabric when heat is applied. The design can have a range of full colors. It must be high resolution and large enough in scale, so that when we size it to the actual garment it will not print blurry or pixelated.

With any dye sublimation printing, the garment must be white and 100% polyester. This is like painting on a wall; you always need primer first before you apply the color so that it will be bright. Having a white shirt will allow the colors in the design to be bright and saturated. Not only can we use dye sublimation for shirts, but we can also print on the front, back, and sides of socks.

Come to AMBRO Manufacturing to get your apparel printed with dye sublimation and you will never want to print another way again. You can give us a call any time at (908) 806 8337 or you can email us and we will get back to you with anything you may need to know.

Sublimation Clothing Printing

Sublimation Clothing Printing

If you’re a scientist, then you’ve probably heard about sublimation before.  If you’re a custom garment designer, you might have heard about sublimation clothing printing.  Is there any connection?  How are these two worlds unified by sublimation? Well, it’s all got to do with using modern technology to create custom fashions!  If you’d like to learn more about custom sublimation clothing printing and how you can get it, stick around and let us at AMBRO Manufacturing tell you all about it.

Sublimation Clothing Printing

So the burning question is: How does it work?  Dye sublimation printing starts with digital artwork at a high resolution.  Using a dye sublimation printer, your artwork is printed onto a heat transfer sheet with specially formulated dyes.  These dyes are meant to convert directly from a solid into a gas, known as sublimation, when subjected to high heat and pressure.  The transfer sheet containing the artwork is then placed onto the fabric in preparation for heat pressing.  Together the transfer sheet and garment will be heat pressed for a brief time to enable the transfer.

Unlike other methods of printing, for example screen printing, sublimation clothing printing actually results in the dyes being absorbed and bonded to the material itself, not just lying on the surface.  This means your prints feel only like the fabric and they are weightless to boot!  All over coverage prints are superb with sublimation clothing printing for that exact reason!  So if you are interested in custom sublimation clothing printing and you’d like to get started on a project of your own, you can come to us at AMBRO Manufacturing.  You can easily contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our company and our customization services, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.
