Oversized Screen Printing
One of the most impressive types of silk screen printing is Oversized Screen Printing. With no strict definition of what exactly “Oversized” means, it is generally accepted that Oversized Screen Printing is defined by any print that can extend the entire length of the shirt from the bottom hem to the neck and onto the sleeves.

Some people will mistake Oversized Screen Printing for Custom Dye Sublimation Printing, the two technologies are vastly different.
With custom dye sublimation printing, specialized inks, printers and industrial heat and pressure are used to create a precision dying method to decorate a garment in 360 degrees. Most custom dye sublimation is done in a cut and sew environment but it can be accomplished on already sewn garments with a high degree of success.
Oversized Screen Printing is not custom dye sublimation, but rather traditional screen printing, but supersized. Specialized jumbo screen printing presses and jumbo screens are created to provide superior all-over-shirt coverage. Standard screen printing inks are used, regular garments are used, it’s the equipment that gets bigger to accommodate an all over print.
Most screen printing shops will promote their large printing sizes, but be careful when selecting and all over print provider to ensure that you specific print dimensions are being met. Most screen printers do not have the same capabilities as AMBRO Manufacturing, a true seam to seam screen printing partner.
Printing in an Oversized Screen Printing scenario can lead to some challenges of matching seams, especially when wrapping a print around from the front to the back of a T-Shirt. When working with experienced Jumbo Screen Printing companies like AMBRO Manufacturing, you can rest at ease that your Jumbo Screen Printing job will be done properly the first time.
