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!

Custom Made Headbands

Custom Made Headbands

When you were a little girl I bet you used to like wearing headbands all the time. As time passed the headband fad died down and you grew out of that phase. There is a fun way to bring the headband wearing days back, and that is by wearing custom made headbands.

Custom made headbands are great for girls who play on sports teams, or dance teams. You can have anything you want on custom made headbands since we make them according to your desires and visions. We can screen print on any blank headband that you find. The print will be small since the custom made headband is a small area to begin with. We can print on the top of the headband or on the side of the headband. If you want to print on the side keep in mind that it will be a much smaller print than if you were to print on the top. We have a variety of ink colors that you can choose from to make your custom made headband.

Custom Made Headbands

If there is a seam in the headband that you choose we have to print either above or below the seam line. We can also embroider a custom made headband. When working with AMBRO Manufacturing, you can pick whatever thread color that we have in house for your design. As mentioned above about the location of the design, the same goes for embroidery. One thing that will differ is the amount of detail. With embroider it is harder to create designs that have a lot of detail in them because of using thread instead of ink.

If you want to start wearing headbands again then you can email us or give us a call at (908) 806-8337 and we can make your very own custom made headband just the way you want it.
