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.

Contract Discharge Printers

Contract Discharge Printers

Are you searching for contract discharge printers that have the capabilities that you need for your custom garments?  Are you an aspiring custom clothing designer that’s looking for the next big thing for your prints?  You might be asking, “How can contract discharge printers affect my printing?”.  Well to figure that out let’s discuss what discharge printing is and what its impacts are.  So if you’re curious about custom discharge printing, stick around and let us at AMBRO Manufacturing tell you all about it.

Contract Discharge Printers

Discharge screen printing is when you use a water based ink with a special discharge agent mixed in to print your custom designs onto garments.  Most standard screen printing is done with plastisol inks which are great for keeping costs low since you can reuse them and they won’t dry up when exposed to air, but there are some drawbacks.  One drawback is that plastisol inks dry stiff and for some, that can be an undesirable ‘hand’ to the print.  Water based inks leave behind a much softer hand, but they are susceptible to drying out so you need to mix just the amount you need and move quickly!  Discharge printing is really just a water based ink that has a discharge agent in it which can remove the garment’s existing color so that you can deposit the desired one in its place.

In discharge printing you will get the softest hand possible because the ink penetrates deeply and doesn’t leave a firm coat on the surface of the garment.  After one or two washes it will feel like the print has always been a part of the garment!  If you are in need of quality contract discharge printers and you want to get started right away, you needn’t look any further than to us here at AMBRO Manufacturing.  You can easily contact us to place an order or to find out more, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.
