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!

Wholesale Screen Printing

Wholesale Screen Printing

If you are trying to break into the fashion industry by becoming a custom garment decorator, you may want to utilize wholesale screen printing.  Wholesale screen printing is a great way to turn a profit on garments.  It’s a no-brainer when it comes to having your wholesale blank goods printed.  For a small investment, you can maximize profits from your goods and build a stronger brand.

Wholesale Screen Printing

If you are brand new to the industry, screen printing is a method of garment decoration that has been in use for a long time.  The basics involve using silk mesh screens with designs on them to print colored ink onto fabric.  Each color in the design requires an individual screen that has been etched with only the parts of the image that are of that color.  The garments are lined up on the printing press and one by one, each screen will be laid onto the surface and colored ink will be pulled across the screen.  After each screen has made an imprint on the garment, you will see the completed image!  Then after a quick drying, the print is set and ready to wear.  Now those are just the basics when it comes to standard screen printing.  Wholesale screen printing can be anything you make of it.  At AMBRO manufacturing we can set you up with different screen printing services for your wholesale goods to find just the right blend.
