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.

Screen Print and Embroidery

Screen Print and Embroidery

Do you own a small business or know someone that has a side business? If you do I bet you have thought of the ways to promote yourself to others. The most common way would be with brochures, pamphlets, and emails, but there is a much more fun way that you can do this. That would be through screen print and embroidery. Wouldn’t you love to see your store name or logo on a tee shirt or any type of accessory? I know I would. AMBRO Manufacturing is a screen print and embroidery company that specializes in all these types of things. AMBRO Manufacturing has been in business for over 25 years.

We have printed thousands upon thousands of shirts and other garments for small business owners with their store name or logo on it. We not only print on shirts but we can print on pants, socks, bags, umbrellas. You name it we can probably do it. The only thing that we would need is the artwork and the garments. If you don’t have any of those we can order the goods that you want and we can help come up with a design that you would like to see on a shirt. One thing to keep in mind is how many colors you want in your print. The more colors you want the more it will be in cost. As for embroidery the amount of colors does not matter. What does matter is how many stitches will make up your logo. You can get either screen print or embroidery or a combination of the two on any garment or accessory you choose.

You can give us a call at (908) 806 8337 or email us anytime with any questions or concerns you have about screen print and embroidery.
