Water Based Discharge Printing

Water Based Discharge Printing

Would you like your custom printed clothing to have the softest feel?  Most custom screen printing is done with plastisol inks and though they do the job, sometimes it can be a bit ‘tough’.  Plastisol inks don’t contain a solvent, so in order for them to set, you need to put them through a drying process.  The heat causes the ink to stiffen up while it dries and for some all over designs and multi-color designs, that can be irritating.  So what do you do if you want screen printing, but also want it to be lightweight and soft to the touch?  You get water based discharge printing!

Water Based Discharge Printing

Water based discharge printing is a form of screen printing that uses a different type of ink altogether to get the job done.  Water based inks, as denoted in the name, typically use water as a solvent.  In order to set these types of prints, the solvent must evaporate instead of cure like with plastisol inks.  What that means for your prints is that they are much more flexible and not tough at all.  The inks are less viscous which means that you can print over seams more easily, which makes water based inks perfect for all over and wrap around printing.

Now you may be thinking, where does the ‘discharge’ factor into the printing?  Well, with an added discharge agent to the water based ink, you have water based discharge printing!  The discharge agent is responsible for removing the pre-existing color in a garment and which is replaced by the color of your choice.  If you would be interested in trying out custom water based discharge printing, you can come to AMBRO Manufacturing where we can provide our garment decoration services to you.  If you would like to place an order, or if you would like to learn more about our company and customization services, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Screen Print and Embroidery

Screen Print and Embroidery

Do you own a small business or know someone that has a side business? If you do I bet you have thought of the ways to promote yourself to others. The most common way would be with brochures, pamphlets, and emails, but there is a much more fun way that you can do this. That would be through screen print and embroidery. Wouldn’t you love to see your store name or logo on a tee shirt or any type of accessory? I know I would. AMBRO Manufacturing is a screen print and embroidery company that specializes in all these types of things. AMBRO Manufacturing has been in business for over 25 years.

We have printed thousands upon thousands of shirts and other garments for small business owners with their store name or logo on it. We not only print on shirts but we can print on pants, socks, bags, umbrellas. You name it we can probably do it. The only thing that we would need is the artwork and the garments. If you don’t have any of those we can order the goods that you want and we can help come up with a design that you would like to see on a shirt. One thing to keep in mind is how many colors you want in your print. The more colors you want the more it will be in cost. As for embroidery the amount of colors does not matter. What does matter is how many stitches will make up your logo. You can get either screen print or embroidery or a combination of the two on any garment or accessory you choose.

You can give us a call at (908) 806 8337 or email us anytime with any questions or concerns you have about screen print and embroidery.
