Screen Printing Services

Screen Printing Services

It should come to no surprise that screen printing is one of the most popular ways to customize clothing.  You can see it practically everywhere you go, whether it is on pants, shirts, backpacks, jackets, or any other type of garment.  But did you know that ‘screen printing’ is more of a general term to describe a whole range of varied screen printing services?  Screen printing is a method of applying custom designs to garments by using coated silk screens to administer ink to the fabric.  The type of screen printing is determined by specifics like the type of ink, the dimensions of printing, and specialty techniques needed.

For example, oversized screen printing is one of the more popular screen printing services you can choose.  Oversized screen printing is for artwork that exceeds the dimensions of a traditional ‘standard’ size print, like for blankets and all over T shirt prints.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we have a myriad of screen printing services that we’ve picked up and perfected over the 30 years we’ve been in the business.  We offer services such as foil printing and printing with water based and discharge inks.  These types of specialty screen printing services aren’t often available at the same facility so you won’t have to worry about locating a company for each service if you come to us. 

We may have tons of customization services to offer, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be overwhelmed.  Our support team is always standing by ready to answer your questions and help guide you through the process.  With so much to offer, you will be planning your next project before the previous one is done!  If you are interested in taking advantage of our screen printing services, or if you would like to know more about us, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

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.
