Water Based T Shirt Printing

Water Based T Shirt Printing

For most custom printing needs, plastisol inks will suffice.  Screen printing with plastisol inks is very common in the apparel decoration world because it’s easy and affordable.  Plastisol inks contain virtually no solvent so they are not susceptible to drying out in the open air.  Since they won’t dry up you can leave them on the screen and reclaim at will for reuse which keeps costs low.  However, as with anything, there are drawbacks involved.  When plastisol inks are dried, they stiffen up and the more ink you have on the shirt, the heavier it feels.  For some designs or garments, plastisol inks don’t have a noticeable effect, but that’s not going to be true for them all.

Water Based T Shirt Printing

Water based T shirt printing is a different way of screen printing because the inks don’t behave the same way.  With water based T shirt printing you get much softer prints due to the low viscosity inks.  Since water based inks contain a solvent, which is generally water, they are susceptible to drying out and thus each batch must be mixed for one-time use.  The tradeoff is that the ink is capable of penetrating deeper into the garment, which is ideal for all over printing that goes across raised seams.  Also you are free to work with lightweight and flowy-style garments because you don’t need to worry about heavy plastisol prints.

You can even use water based T shirt printing to remove the existing color and put in your own custom color in one step by adding a discharge agent to the ink mixture.  If you are curious about all that you can do with water based T shirt printing, you can come to AMBRO Manufacturing to find out more.  You can contact us to place an order, or to speak with a representative, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

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.
