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.

Methods of Textile Printing

One of the most popular methods of textile printing is screen printing because it’s been around for a long time and it just keeps improving!  Most screen printing is done using plastisol inks because they can easily be reclaimed as they won’t dry up when exposed to air.  When you finish a job you can reclaim the excess ink and use it later which helps keep costs down.  There are other types of ink too, like water based and discharge inks, which are susceptible to drying due to the solvent present in the ink, but the trade-off is a softer hand to the print.  Since water based inks can print over seams, they are a great option for all over and wrap around prints.

There are plenty of other methods textile printing that have nothing to do with screens either.  One such type of printing is a method of digital printing called dye sublimation.  The image gets printed out digitally from a sublimation printer onto a heat transfer sheet and then heat pressed to the garment to create the print; it’s that simple!  If you want to learn more about the different methods of textile printing or you are in need of garment customization, you can come to us at AMBRO Manufacturing!  You can easily place an order, or find out more about our company, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.
