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.

Hat Screen Printing

Hat Screen Printing

In the custom garment printing business, we talk a whole lot about customized shirts.  Sure, customized shirts are a great option for many reasons, but they certainly aren’t the only option.  There are tons of types of garments you can print on, but there’s also a whole world out there of customizable accessories.  For example, custom printed socks are a huge hit because they are simple, but great-looking.  Another such accessory is the quintessential hat.  Custom hat screen printing is a great way to quickly create a unique, retail-ready look.

Custom hat screen printing could be the perfect way to add some more products to your inventory as a custom garment designer.  A simple, but strong logo on a hat really makes a statement, especially since they are stationed near eye level.  It’s a smart way to give public exposure to your brand but still keep the fun and creative side involved.  You don’t have to be a custom garment decorator either to take part in hat screen printing.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we have low screen printing minimums so anyone can get involved.
