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.

All Over Shirt Printing

All Over Shirt Printing

If you are on the hunt for a company capable of doing all over shirt printing and you haven’t found one yet; you are not alone.  It seems like it should be an easy shift from standard size printing to oversized printing, but it takes the right stuff to pull off.  Other printing companies out there are either unequipped or unwilling to take on all over shirt printing.  At AMBRO manufacturing we don’t shy away from oversized printing; we embrace it so that our customers can reap the benefits.

All Over Shirt Printing

All over shirt printing is essentially oversized screen printing, but it specifically references printing all across the surface of a T shirt.  Whether it is seam to seam on a T-shirt or on a huge item like a blanket, this type of printing requires custom large format screens.  Not only do you need screens big enough to cover the entire print area, but you also need the right accompanying equipment to burn the image onto the screens and mount the large frames for printing.  So you see, there’s more to it than just making a larger screen.  We at AMBRO Manufacturing have been in the customization business for nearly 30 years so we have the expertise to pull off top quality all over shirt printing.

With tons of colors and the ability to mix and match our customization services, you will have no trouble crafting amazing custom garments.  All you need is your artistry and creativity to bring to your designs and we can take care of all your production needs.  Come check out our facility and see what we can do for you.  If you would like to place an order for all over shirt printing, or if you would like to know more about our other services, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
