Wide Format Screen Printing

Wide Format Screen Printing

Are you interested in a different type of shirt that you don’t see around too often? If you are getting bored of the same kind of designs on shirts and want something more eye catching, keep on reading. AMBRO Manufacturing is a screen printing company that does a lot of work with wide format screen printing.

Wide format screen printing is a way to get a tee shirt design that fits over the entire shirt. It uses large screens that fit a shirt if you lay it down flat. Using this type of printing, we typically use one or two colors to print. Any more than two colors, it will be hard to register on the shirt. We can print from edge to edge and across the sleeves. In the areas that there are seams, the ink may not print well over them, since it is slightly thicker fabric.

Wide Format Screen Printing

When using wide format screen printing if you have a range of sizes from smalls to really large ones, we may have to separate the design in two; one size to fit for the smaller sizes and another to fit for the larger sizes. We do this so that when scaling the art it will look proportionate to the actual shirt. When we print with this technique we like to use acrylic or water based ink. This will have a lighter touch on the shirt and will not feel heavy with all the ink sitting on the shirt.

Let us make you a cool shirt with an all over print. You can give us a call any time at (908) 806-8337 or you can email us and we will get back to you with anything you may need to know. We are located in Flemington, New Jersey.

CMYK Screen Printing

CMYK Screen Printing

In the world of custom garment decoration there are two main camps when it comes to printing: silk screen printing versus dye sublimation printing.  Each of these methods carry their own advantages and disadvantages, which matter depending on the design you wish to apply to your garments.  For example, with screen printing, you can’t achieve as much color expression from your prints as with dye sublimation printing.  But there is such a thing as CMYK screen printing that can get a much wider expression of colors out of your silk screened prints.

CMYK Screen Printing

Typically in screen printing, the artwork is separated into layers of color, one color per layer.  Each layer is then burned into a silk screen so it can later have colored ink drawn across it to produce an image.  If you have a logo with two colors, this process is quick and easy.  CMYK screen printing will come into play when you have much more colors than a few solid chunks.  CMYK screen printing works by building the desired color through applying different values of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink.  This process has been in use for many years in various forms of artistic image rendering and it certainly works.

 As you might imagine, CYMK screen printing takes finesse and experience to do it right, so it’s best to leave it to the professionals.  Here at AMBRO Manufacturing we can take care of your CMYK screen printing needs for sure.  We have been in the apparel customization business for over 30 years, so you can trust in our expertise.  If you’re new to custom printing, our support team can answer any questions you might have and help guide you through to a successful product.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
