Choosing a good screen printer is not an easy task. Screen printers typically fall into one of three categories. Category one includes what I like to call “Mega Screen Printers”, these printers are massive. They print hundreds of thousands of items each month. If you need a few hundred thousand pieces, then they are a great choice. But if you need only a few dozen, hundred or thousand, then it’s unlikely that any of these mega printers will return your calls.

The next category is what I call “The Garage Shop”. These printers often work out of their basement, garage or small retail space. While you can find many good quality printers in this category, it’s truly a hit or miss. Often, the level of service that you will get from one of these printers depends highly on what they have in their shop the week that you need something. As a one man or one woman shop, the proprietor is often the Jack or Jill of all trades. This means that the person that answers the phone, does the paperwork, prints the products, QC check the products and delivers them, is the same person. While that can be awesome, it also means that they have limited capacity. Risks with working with this type of organization are high.

The final and most rare category is the mid-level provider. Mid-level providers are big enough to produce hundreds or thousands but not so big that they won’t take your order for 12 pieces. These mid-level companies have the resources that you need to get your job completed in a quality manner and in a short period of time.

Silk Screen Printers

Silk Screen Printers

Have you ever wondered how some of the garments you see in outlet stores came to be?  How are they able to create such eye catching prints on clothing?  How can they still look so good after many washes?  Well, it is all possible through silk screen printing.  Silk screen printers are just like any other artists that need to know the ins and outs of the medium they work with.  Knowing how to create high quality prints takes time, finesse, and expertise.  When done correctly, silk screen printing will produce a long lasting, beautiful custom garment for any occasion.

Silk Screen Printers

Screen printing gets its name from the silk mesh screens that are used in the printing process.  These screens are coated in an emulsion that completely blocks the tiny holes in the mesh.  The artwork is separated into layers that contain only one of the colors in the design per layer.  The layers are then individually etched into the screen, exposing the holes in the pattern of the design.  The screens are mounted onto a printing press in sequence and then loaded with the appropriate ink color.  The silk screen printers then load the blank garments onto the press and lay the screen over the fabric.  A squeegee will pull the ink across the screen, depositing a layer of ink onto the garment.  When all of the screens have had a pass of ink, the design is complete and it is ready to be dried and set.

It’s a lot of steps to accomplish at home so that’s why it’s best to let the professional silk screen printers handle the work.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we are more than happy to take on the work so you don’t have to.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about us, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
