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.

Wholesale Screen Printing

Wholesale Screen Printing

If you are trying to break into the fashion industry by becoming a custom garment decorator, you may want to utilize wholesale screen printing.  Wholesale screen printing is a great way to turn a profit on garments.  It’s a no-brainer when it comes to having your wholesale blank goods printed.  For a small investment, you can maximize profits from your goods and build a stronger brand.

Wholesale Screen Printing

If you are brand new to the industry, screen printing is a method of garment decoration that has been in use for a long time.  The basics involve using silk mesh screens with designs on them to print colored ink onto fabric.  Each color in the design requires an individual screen that has been etched with only the parts of the image that are of that color.  The garments are lined up on the printing press and one by one, each screen will be laid onto the surface and colored ink will be pulled across the screen.  After each screen has made an imprint on the garment, you will see the completed image!  Then after a quick drying, the print is set and ready to wear.  Now those are just the basics when it comes to standard screen printing.  Wholesale screen printing can be anything you make of it.  At AMBRO manufacturing we can set you up with different screen printing services for your wholesale goods to find just the right blend.
