Water Based Ink Screen Printing

Water Based Ink Screen Printing

Custom screen printing is a world full of options so sometimes it can be overwhelming to find what works for you.  Traditionally, screen printing was done using plastisol inks, which are composed of microscopic solid pigments.  Plastisol inks work very well for printing onto fabrics and they are easily reclaimed to cut down on waste ink, which is a huge money saver.  Some people, however, aren’t in love with how stiff plastisol prints can be, especially with a lot of ink coverage on the fabric.  Luckily for those people, screen printing with water based inks was developed! 

Water based ink screen printing is, as the name suggests, screen printing done using water based inks and the effect it has on the print is profound.  Water based inks are much thinner than plastisol inks which means they leave a softer “hand” to your print.  When you run your hand over the print, you’ll barely be able to feel the ink from the fabric.  Since the ink is much thinner you can print over the seams of a garment without distorting the print, which makes it great for all over T shirt printing!  By adding a discharge agent to the water based ink you can perform a process called discharge printing.  The discharge agent removes the existing color from the fabric and so that the ink can deposit a new color in its place.

Custom Folding Chairs

Custom Folding Chairs

Are you a person who loves to go to parades and sit on the sidewalk and watch as all the bands and fire trucks come down the road? Are you a sports parent who goes to their children’s games and cheers them on from the sidelines? If you love doing either of these things then you would most likely always be using a folding chair. As you would know all folding chairs are blank and just one color. Well what if I told you that I can make that solid color folding chair become a custom folding chair with whatever design you want on it? At a screen printing company called AMBRO Manufacturing, we can make all that possible.

Custom Folding Chairs

Custom folding chairs can be made with all your own specifications about design, placement, and ink colors. We can put a team logo, or name on the custom folding chair, or if you have a design that you want specifically we can do that as well. We usually print on the backs of custom folding chairs so that you will see the design when walking toward the custom folding chair. We can also print on the front where your back would touch the chair. We can also just print on the upper portion of the custom folding chair like a director’s chair would have a name on it. The choice is up to you. Keep in mind that based on the material that the chair is it we may or may not be able to print a custom folding chair for you. That is because when we are done screen printing the chair we have to send it through the dryer for the ink to cure and if the material isn’t good there is a chance that it will start to melt as it goes through the dryer.

If you have any questions regarding custom folding chairs you can email us or give us a call at (908) 806-8337 and we will be happy to answer anything you have questions on. Custom folding chairs are a fun personal thing to have so come by AMBRO Manufacturing and get your custom folding chair today.
