Waterbased Screen Printing

AMBRO Manufacturing is a contract apparel customization company with over 30 years in the business so we offer many different garment decoration services.  Most printing companies work with plastisol inks because they are easier to work with, cost less, and can be reclaimed after a job is complete.  With all those positives, why do people still want waterbased inks?  Waterbased inks contain a solvent, unlike plastisol inks, so they are thinner and penetrate deeper into the fabric.  Due to the nature of the ink, the resulting prints are much softer than plastisol prints and this is very desirable to most consumers.  If you are doing all over printing, waterbased inks are especially favorable because they won’t weigh you down even with all over coverage.

Waterbased screen printing is a bit trickier than printing with plastisol inks because you can’t leave them exposed to the air too long because they’ll dry up in the screen and you won’t be able to reclaim any excess ink for future use.  Of course, that’s not your problem to worry about, it’s ours!  So if you are interested in placing an order for custom waterbased screen printing, or if you would like to learn more about our company and our services, you can easily contact us by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.

Contract Screen Printing

Contract Screen Printing is a service that is provided by contract screen printing companies that involves an agreement between two parties for screen printing services.  Typically a company or person will bring blank garments to a contract screen printer and provide them with art to be printed on the garments.

There are several different methods of screen printing that are available today, water based inks, discharge printing, plastisol printing and a few other variations are all options.  Depending on what the artwork looks like, what garment is being used and what the customer is trying to accomplish with the project, your Contract Screen Printing partner can recommend the best method to use.
