Water Based Printing Inks

Water Based Printing Inks

You can start printing softer prints today if you switch to printing with water based printing inks.  People get custom screen printing every day and a lot of the time they are using plastisol inks to do so.  Plastisol inks are nice because the excess ink can easily be reclaimed to be used again which helps keep the cost low.  They won’t dry up since they don’t contain a solvent, but there is a drawback to this property since they need to be cured to set permanently.  When you cure a plastisol ink it stiffens up and when you’re dealing with a lot of ink coverage it can make a garment feel heavy and bulky. Water based printing inks don’t have that problem so you can get super soft hand on your own custom prints.

Water Based Printing Inks

Water based printing inks are formulated with a solvent, usually water, which means you can’t reuse them like plastisol inks, but the tradeoff is in the quality of the print.  Water based printing inks are thinner and penetrate more into the garment while leaving behind a soft hand. The water based inks take on the feel of the garment you’re printing on so it’s perfect for professional fashion applications where quality is key.  You’ll be able to offer fantastic prints that feel top of the line which is sure to please your customers!

High Density Custom Printing

High Density Custom Printing

If you’d like to create custom prints that practically jump off the fabric then you may want to learn more about high density custom printing.  If you’ve never heard of it before, high density custom printing is a specialty method of printing that builds on itself to create lift off of the garment.  Your prints won’t be flat on the surface, but rather they are raised to create dimension!

High Density Custom Printing

High density custom printing isn’t like puff prints because they have an edge.  Puff printing uses inks that are formulated to rise, essentially like bread dough, when exposed to heat.  The resulting print puffs up to be rounded in profile, but it can only get so tall.  High density printing is different because you use special screens with added thickness to build up the print vertically.  What you are left with is a print that comes to a hard edge and pops up off the garment.  The crisp edge gives you that unique look that you can’t find just anywhere so it’s great way to bolster retail sales.  People are always looking for a way to distinguish their designs from all the others and specialty printing services are an easy way to make it happen!

AMBRO Manufacturing handles many customization options in fact, so you can find high density custom printing alongside tons of other choices.  You won’t need to contract a new company every time you want to mix things up because we offer such choices as oversized printing, foil printing, scented printing, water based and discharge ink printing, sublimation, embroidery, and even more.  It’s easy to begin working with us as all you need to do is reach out to one of our representatives and we’ll happily show you the way.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our company and all of the customization services we have to offer, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.
