Contract Discharge Screen Printing

Contract Discharge Screen Printing

If you’re thinking of starting up a business that offers custom screen printed garments, the best way to get established is by using a contract screen printer.  With a contract screen printer, you can take production woes off of your plate and just deal with the business of designing!  When you’re getting started, the last thing you want to deal with is getting backed up with orders and starting off with bad customer experiences.  A professional printer can keep the supply up with the demand so that you can give your clients a positive experience and grow your brand confidence.

At AMBRO Manufacturing we can of course offer you traditional screen printing with plastisol inks but did you know that we can provide you with contract discharge screen printing too?  Contract discharge screen printing uses water based inks which differ largely from the typical plastisol inks.  Water based inks leave much softer prints on custom printed garments that many people prefer.  Discharge printing is screen printing with a water based ink that has an added discharge agent which will remove the pre-existing color from the garment and replace it with a color of your choice.

So, why delay any longer?  Come visit us at AMBRO Manufacturing to see how we can help you with your contract screen printing needs.  We have been in the garment customization industry for over 30 years so you can count on our quality and expertise.  We have plenty of customization services at our disposal to make the best custom garments you could imagine; all you have to do is reach out to us!  You can contact us to set up contract discharge screen printing, or to find out more about our company and the services we offer, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Water Based Screen Printing

Water Based Screen Printing

What works for some people, may not work for other; that is just a reality of the world we live in.  Because of this, we are in world filled with options.  People are always trying to come up with new ways to ‘skin a cat’ so that it works best for them.  In the custom garment printing world, this type of innovation has given us water based screen printing.  Water based screen printing is an alternative way of screen printing your custom garments that comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Water Based Screen Printing

Originally screen printing was done using plastisol inks, which are petroleum based.  Plastisol is great for keeping costs down because they are reusable as long as you properly maintain them.  They won’t dry up in the screens because there is virtually no solvent in them.  The problem with plastisol is that for some customers, the feel of the ink on the garment known as the ‘hand’, is too firm.  For designs that are all over coverage or that have multiple colors, plastisol ink can feel quite heavy and stiff.  Water based screen printing is perfect for those who are looking for a soft, ‘barely there’ feeling print.

Water based inks are susceptible to drying out and as such, are mixed for the amount needed for the job.  Since the inks aren’t reusable, water based screen printing is generally more expensive than printing with plastisol.  At AMBRO Manufacturing, you can have the best of both worlds as we offer screen printing with both plastisol and water based inks.  We also are capable of water based discharge printing too, so don’t forget to ask us about that!  If you are interested in placing an order, or if you would like to find out more about water based printing, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
