Water Based Ink Screen Printing

Water Based Ink Screen Printing

Custom screen printing is a world full of options so sometimes it can be overwhelming to find what works for you.  Traditionally, screen printing was done using plastisol inks, which are composed of microscopic solid pigments.  Plastisol inks work very well for printing onto fabrics and they are easily reclaimed to cut down on waste ink, which is a huge money saver.  Some people, however, aren’t in love with how stiff plastisol prints can be, especially with a lot of ink coverage on the fabric.  Luckily for those people, screen printing with water based inks was developed! 

Water based ink screen printing is, as the name suggests, screen printing done using water based inks and the effect it has on the print is profound.  Water based inks are much thinner than plastisol inks which means they leave a softer “hand” to your print.  When you run your hand over the print, you’ll barely be able to feel the ink from the fabric.  Since the ink is much thinner you can print over the seams of a garment without distorting the print, which makes it great for all over T shirt printing!  By adding a discharge agent to the water based ink you can perform a process called discharge printing.  The discharge agent removes the existing color from the fabric and so that the ink can deposit a new color in its place.

Hat Screen Printing

Hat Screen Printing

In the custom garment printing business, we talk a whole lot about customized shirts.  Sure, customized shirts are a great option for many reasons, but they certainly aren’t the only option.  There are tons of types of garments you can print on, but there’s also a whole world out there of customizable accessories.  For example, custom printed socks are a huge hit because they are simple, but great-looking.  Another such accessory is the quintessential hat.  Custom hat screen printing is a great way to quickly create a unique, retail-ready look.

Custom hat screen printing could be the perfect way to add some more products to your inventory as a custom garment designer.  A simple, but strong logo on a hat really makes a statement, especially since they are stationed near eye level.  It’s a smart way to give public exposure to your brand but still keep the fun and creative side involved.  You don’t have to be a custom garment decorator either to take part in hat screen printing.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we have low screen printing minimums so anyone can get involved.
