Wide Format Screen Printing

Wide Format Screen Printing

Are you interested in a different type of shirt that you don’t see around too often? If you are getting bored of the same kind of designs on shirts and want something more eye catching, keep on reading. AMBRO Manufacturing is a screen printing company that does a lot of work with wide format screen printing.

Wide format screen printing is a way to get a tee shirt design that fits over the entire shirt. It uses large screens that fit a shirt if you lay it down flat. Using this type of printing, we typically use one or two colors to print. Any more than two colors, it will be hard to register on the shirt. We can print from edge to edge and across the sleeves. In the areas that there are seams, the ink may not print well over them, since it is slightly thicker fabric.

Wide Format Screen Printing

When using wide format screen printing if you have a range of sizes from smalls to really large ones, we may have to separate the design in two; one size to fit for the smaller sizes and another to fit for the larger sizes. We do this so that when scaling the art it will look proportionate to the actual shirt. When we print with this technique we like to use acrylic or water based ink. This will have a lighter touch on the shirt and will not feel heavy with all the ink sitting on the shirt.

Let us make you a cool shirt with an all over print. You can give us a call any time at (908) 806-8337 or you can email us and we will get back to you with anything you may need to know. We are located in Flemington, New Jersey.

Direct To Garment Printing

Direct To Garment Printing

Direct to garment printing also known as Digital printing or DTG is a great way to print small orders with multiple colors and save some money. Direct to garment printing works by printing on a garment using a modified or specialized inkjet technology. The direct to garment printing machine is just like your basic inkjet desktop printer that you use to print on paper. The direct to garment printing machine is driven by RIP also known as Raster Image Processor. The RIP program allows you to print using much larger volumes of ink for your image being printed.

Direct To Garment Printing

In order to get the best quality print with direct to garment printing it is recommended for the items to be 100% cotton or a cotton blend. When doing direct to garment printing on dark colors the garments must be pretreated before printing them or the image will not show up clear at all. The direct to garment printing has a transport mechanism for the garments that uses specialty inks to apply to the garments directly and is absorbed by the cotton fibers in the garment.

With direct to garment printing you can have a minimum order of just one shirt and the direct to garment images look much better then vinyl which would be another way you could have a minimum of 1 item. But with the direct to garment you can have fun with the images. Maybe your mom’s 60th birthday is coming up and you want to have a shirt made for her with an image of you and her when you were younger, you can do all that with digital printing but you cannot do that with vinyl. You can also have words printed with direct to garment printing and they will look way cooler than vinyl would.

So look into getting some direct to garment printing done!  You can reach us by calling (908) 806-8337 or email.
