Water Based Screen Printing

Water Based Screen Printing

What works for some people, may not work for other; that is just a reality of the world we live in.  Because of this, we are in world filled with options.  People are always trying to come up with new ways to ‘skin a cat’ so that it works best for them.  In the custom garment printing world, this type of innovation has given us water based screen printing.  Water based screen printing is an alternative way of screen printing your custom garments that comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Water Based Screen Printing

Originally screen printing was done using plastisol inks, which are petroleum based.  Plastisol is great for keeping costs down because they are reusable as long as you properly maintain them.  They won’t dry up in the screens because there is virtually no solvent in them.  The problem with plastisol is that for some customers, the feel of the ink on the garment known as the ‘hand’, is too firm.  For designs that are all over coverage or that have multiple colors, plastisol ink can feel quite heavy and stiff.  Water based screen printing is perfect for those who are looking for a soft, ‘barely there’ feeling print.

Water based inks are susceptible to drying out and as such, are mixed for the amount needed for the job.  Since the inks aren’t reusable, water based screen printing is generally more expensive than printing with plastisol.  At AMBRO Manufacturing, you can have the best of both worlds as we offer screen printing with both plastisol and water based inks.  We also are capable of water based discharge printing too, so don’t forget to ask us about that!  If you are interested in placing an order, or if you would like to find out more about water based printing, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Custom Made Headbands

Custom Made Headbands

Do you have your own clothing company? Maybe you have a sports store and want to add something new to your supply to spice it up a bit? If that is the case you should take a look at getting some custom made headbands. The awesome thing about custom made headbands is they are made to your liking. You can get pre sewn headbands and have custom made headbands screen printed with a logo or you can go above and beyond and get a piece of material sublimated with your logo and them sewn into a style of headband that you want.

Custom Made Headbands

At AMBRO Manufacturing we just recently started doing cut and sew dye sublimation headbands. We like doing custom made headbands this way because you can get your image all over the headband and you can get it sewn in a style that you like as opposed to something that someone else likes. We want you to get some amazing custom made headbands that you will love and if you are a store owner or have your own clothing line we want to help you create custom made headbands that your customers will love and want to keep coming back for more. With this ability that we have you can create something so different and out of this world people will ask you how you created these amazing custom made headbands. And another awesome thing about have your custom made headbands sublimated over screen printed is because the ink will be infused into the material instead of on top of it and you can cover the entire headband.

If custom made headbands are something you are interested in hearing more about or want to place an order for custom made headbands give us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us here at AMBRO Manufacturing and we would be more than happy to help you out.
