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.

Scented T-Shirt Printing

Scented T-Shirt Printing

Anyone who remembers or knows what scratch and sniff stickers are, know the fun of the surprise of how they smell after you scratch them. You can get fruity ones, flowery ones, or sour smelling ones. It was always a fun thing to stick them on school papers or all over notebooks after school was done. Now there is a way to get that effect on clothing. You must think that’s crazy, scented clothing? Well let me tell you it is something that is unique and oddly different that you don’t see or smell a lot.  

Scented T-Shirt Printing

Scents are a way to remember certain things, like a family members favorite cooking or some kind of food that smells great, they can leave a lasting impression on people when they walk by. If you are going to a food or wine tasting event, why not pair it with a shirt that has the scent of the product you are going to taste.

At AMBRO Manufacturing, we can produce scented t-shirt printing. To get the effect of a scent on a t-shirt, there is an invisible layer of ink that holds the scent, and it won’t deter your eye away from the art. When you move around the scent is released into the air. Love the smell of chocolate being made? We have that scent. Instead of always having that fresh baking smell in the house only when you make cookies, wear it on a shirt any day of the week. Our scented t-shirt printing holds the scent fresh up to twenty washes.

AMBRO Manufacturing is the only place in town that can produce scented t-shirts. We have many scents available and can even make custom scents. You can email us or give us a call at (908) 806 8337 to talk about our scented t-shirt printing services.
