Wholesale Discharge Screen Printing

Wholesale Discharge Screen Printing

Do you have your wholesale goods customized with screen printing?  If you do, odds are that you deal with plastisol inks.  Plastisol inks are the industry standard because they are affordable and easily reused.  Since they contain virtually no solvent, they aren’t susceptible to drying out.  This means they can be left on the screen without fear of drying and any excess ink can be reclaimed for future printing.  On the other hand, plastisol inks are really microscopic solid pigments so when they dry on a garment, they leave a firm ‘hand’, which is the feel of the print on the fabric.  For some end-users, a firm hand is not desirable and instead they choose to go with wholesale discharge screen printing.

Wholesale Discharge Screen Printing

Wholesale discharge screen printing is an alternative to printing with plastisol ink that leaves an ultra-soft hand that you won’t even notice!  The reason why is because this type of screen printing uses a water based ink that contains a discharge agent.  Water based inks contain a solvent, typically water, so it is much thinner than plastisol ink.  The discharge agent added to the ink removes the pre-existing color and replaces it with the new color that you want.

Wholesale discharge screen printing does cost more than plastisol because unfortunately, it isn’t reusable due to the solvent.  Each project must have the necessary amount of ink required for the job because waste ink cannot be reclaimed.  The trade off, however, is a super soft print that is perfect for lightweight garments and all over printing.  If you are interested in doing your next project with discharge screen printing, you can come to AMBRO Manufacturing to have it done right!  You can contact us to place your order, or to find out more about our company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Custom Foil Printing on T-shirts and Hoodies

If you are a custom garment decorator, you will flock to a foil print that calls out from the clothing rack, and rest assured that with foil, your designs will be seen.  You can choose a little bit of foil for an accent to your prints or you can opt for a completely foil design!  Whatever suits your needs, we here at AMBRO Manufacturing would love to make it happen for you. We are an apparel customization company with nearly 30 years of experience behind us, so we know what we’re doing.  We have tons of foil colors to select from and we can even provide you with specialty foils that have prints and prismatic effects.  We also can offer you a ‘mixed media’ print where we apply screen printing alongside your foil prints.

Custom foil printing on T-shirts and hoodies is almost the same process as traditional screen printing, but with one key difference.  The foil part of the design will be screen printed with an adhesive, instead of a colored ink.  After the adhesive layer is applied, a foil sheet is heat pressed to the adhesive and the excess is peeled away to reveal the design in foil!  So if you are interested in custom foil printing, you can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
