Contract Discharge Printers

Are you searching for contract discharge printers that have the capabilities that you need for your custom garments?  Are you an aspiring custom clothing designer that’s looking for the next big thing for your prints?  You might be asking, “How can contract discharge printers affect my printing?”.  Well to figure that out let’s discuss what discharge printing is and what its impacts are.  So if you’re curious about custom discharge printing, stick around and let us at AMBRO Manufacturing tell you all about it.

Contract Discharge Printers

Discharge screen printing is when you use a water based ink with a special discharge agent mixed in to print your custom designs onto garments.  Most standard screen printing is done with plastisol inks which are great for keeping costs low since you can reuse them and they won’t dry up when exposed to air, but there are some drawbacks.  One drawback is that plastisol inks dry stiff and for some, that can be an undesirable ‘hand’ to the print.  Water based inks leave behind a much softer hand, but they are susceptible to drying out so you need to mix just the amount you need and move quickly!  Discharge printing is really just a water based ink that has a discharge agent in it which can remove the garment’s existing color so that you can deposit the desired one in its place.

In discharge printing you will get the softest hand possible because the ink penetrates deeply and doesn’t leave a firm coat on the surface of the garment.  After one or two washes it will feel like the print has always been a part of the garment!  If you are in need of quality contract discharge printers and you want to get started right away, you needn’t look any further than to us here at AMBRO Manufacturing.  You can easily contact us to place an order or to find out more, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.

Silk Screen T Shirt Printing

Silk Screen T Shirt Printing

Have you heard of silk screen T shirt printing before, but never known what that meant?  All over the world, every day, countless T shirts are getting silk screened for an endless amount of reasons.  All different walks of life can benefit in some way from silk screen T shirt printing.  Printed T shirts make amazing personalized gifts for friends and family.  For custom garment designers, printed T shirts often make up the bread and butter of their clothing line.  They are found in use with athletic teams for spirit wear or for members in clubs or groups.  Musical bands use them for concert tees and others use them to commemorate special events.  There’s essentially no wrong way to make printed T shirts work for you!

The process behind silk screen T shirt printing is simple to grasp but takes expertise to master.  It all starts out from the design.  The design is separated into layers based on the colors in the design; one layer per color.  The layers are then etched, one by one, into an emulsion on silk mesh screens.  The emulsion blocks the holes in the mesh so that only the areas that you want to print will be uncovered.  The screen is then lined up and laid down on the surface of the garment.  A squeegee pulls colored ink across the mesh and the ink passes through the holes leaving behind the print.  After each screen has applied its part of the design, the image will be complete and ready to be dried.

At AMBRO Manufacturing, we take pride in our top quality screen printing.  Our printing is done in-house so we are able to oversee the entire production process.  We also offer sublimation, embroidery, vinyl, applique, and more.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our services, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
