There are a lot of different accessories that maybe you don’t think of right away that can lead into some really cool things.

Here at AMBRO, we specialize in the large format printing, specialty prints, and hat screen printing. Like any other type of screen printing there are some limits that come with screen printing on hats. Since the retail space on a hat is very small, the design or logo cannot have many fine details in it because they will close up with it gets pressed. We have a special press that is the same shape as the hat; instead of a flat screen it has a curve to it so that the hat can fit over top of it without any problems. The typical areas that we use for hat screen printing are the front, and sometimes the back strap if it is flat. You can get any type of hat and any color of hat that you would like, and we will make your design be the best you have seen on any hat.

If you want something new and different, besides the same tee shirt printing, AMBRO Manufacturing is the place for you. We are open Monday through Friday from 9am- 5pm.

Do you know what sublimation is?  If not, it’s a process where a solid shifts to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.  Why should you care?  Well, for one thing, many of the printed graphics you see around you on a daily basis have been done with sublimation printing.  For example, I’m sure you’ve seen sublimation printing on shirts before without even knowing what you were looking at.  Think back to a noteworthy shirt that has an awesome all over graphic, chock-full of color or a high definition photograph with perfect clarity; chances are very high that that garment was printed with dye sublimation!

Sublimation Printing on Shirts

How can sublimation printing on shirts be capable of so much?  Well, the dye sublimation process is unique because it starts with printing out your artwork digitally from a sublimation printer onto a heat transfer sheet.  The artwork comes straight from the digital file so all the colors and clarity remain intact; there is no need for screens or color separations like with screen printing.  The transfer sheet gets place onto the blank shirt to be printed and together that are placed into the sublimation press.  The heat press applies high temperatures and pressure for a brief period of time to cause the dyes to sublimate and transfer into the garment.

Once the sublimation occurs, the print is locked into the very fibers of the garment permanently.  What you see on the computer screen is what you’ll see on the fabric and that’s what makes sublimation printing on shirts so appealing.  You have no limits on details and colors, so you are free to explore every corner of your creativity to the maximum.  And you can get all of that done here at AMBRO Manufacturing because we are a contract sublimation, screen printing, and embroidery company!  If you are interested in placing an order for custom sublimation printing on shirts, or if you would like to find out more about us, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Getting clothing printed is much easier in today’s world than it has been in the past. Everywhere you look there is some sort of screen printing or embroidery shop right in front of you. Picking one place might be a hard task if some places don’t offer a lot of services. AMBRO Manufacturing is one of those places that can offer you the standards and a lot more. Digital Sublimation is a fantastic way to decorate any T-Shirt.

Digital Sublimation

Besides screen printing, we also do digital sublimation. This is another type of printing that will be able to get you very bright, vibrant colors. Unlike screen printing, dye sublimation consists of using a special paper transfer of the design to be printed. When heat pressed the ink on the paper turns into a vapor, which gets dyed into the fabric. With digital sublimation you don’t have to worry about how many colors the print is, since we can do full color.

To use dye sublimation, the shirt or whatever garment you are printing on has to be white and 100% polyester. This will ensure the best print possible. You also want to make sure that the image that you want to use is high resolution. If it is not, then you will risk a pixelated or blurry print. You can have an all over printed shirt with a cool pattern or a simple design, the world is your oyster.

You can give us a call any time at (908) 806 8337 or email us and we will get back to you with anything you may need to know about our digital sublimation. We are your next stop shop to having your wardrobe looking bright and the best you have ever seen it be.

Why Would You Recommend a Dye Sublimation Printer

If you ever loved creating your own tee shirt designs, or loved seeing an all over print on tee shirts, then I have just the thing for you. If you are looking to start a small company or just want to make things on the side, AMBRO Manufacturing is just your ticket. To get prints to be all over the shirts there is a special way to go about that using a sublimation printing process. Are you asking yourself why would you recommend a dye sublimation printer? Keep on reading and I will tell you why it is the best way to go.

Why Would You Recommend a Dye Sublimation Printer

The dye sublimation printing process is a way to get a full color image or design onto a shirt. There is a special transfer paper that the design gets printed on first, then when it is heat pressed onto the shirt, the ink turns into a vapor and gets dyed into the fabric of the garment. This is the best way to go if you want a photographic image or one that has a lot of color in it because the colors will be printed very rich and saturated in color. Another great thing about why you would recommend a dye sublimation printer is that we can get close to the seams in the print to make it look like a wrap around design from the front to the back. There is one consideration that you need to keep in mind when using the sublimation printing process is; the shirt has to be 100% polyester and white. This will ensure the best and brightest print possible.

The next time you would like to have an all over printed shirt, you should stop by and have a look in our show room to see our sample sublimation prints that we have done. You can give us a call any time at (908) 806-8337 or email us and we will have someone get back to you on why would you recommend a dye sublimation printer.

Sublimation Dye Printing

Have you stepped into the world of sublimation dye printing yet?  If not, you’re in store for a grand surprise because this method of garment decoration is simply mind-blowing.  That’s a lot of hype for a printing method, I know, but once you see the quality and the scope of possible printable designs, your head might start spinning from the potential.  So let’s get into why sublimation dye printing can be so great and why you should consider it for your next custom printing project.

Sublimation Dye Printing

The first reason why sublimation dye printing is noteworthy is due to the amount of detail and color that can be captured onto the garment.  Other methods of printing get very complicated as the color count rises but not for sublimation printing.  This method works by heat pressing a transfer sheet that contains specially formulated dyes that convert from a solid to a gas and then get absorbed by the material below.  Since the artwork is digitally printed out from a sublimation printer onto the transfer sheet, all the details and colors in the digital file are perfectly reproduced.  There’s no mucking about with screens and separations; just print, press, and presto!

Now aesthetics are important for custom garments, but so is durability.  Sublimation dye printing can deliver durability in spades.  The dye is actually bonded with the very fibers of the material as a result of this method so it’s there for the lifetime of the garment.  You won’t see any cracking or peeling and your print will stay gorgeous even after many washes.  Here at AMBRO Manufacturing, we make it easy to get great quality, custom printing, even if you have zero previous experience.  If you would like to place an order or speak to a representative to find out more about our company, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

When you Sublimate a T-Shirt what is happening is that you are using specialized dyes and heat applications to create a 360 degree look and feel for the T-Shirt.  Sublimate technology involves industrial heat and pressure, dye sublimation inks, wide format industrial printers and experience in the art of dye sublimation.

Sublimate

One of the questions that we get asked on a regular basis is “Do you sublimate?” and the answer is “yes we do!” but what most people don’t realize is that the art of sublimation comes in two very different and distinct processes.

The first type of sublimation is done in a cut and sew scenario.  In this type of process, rolls of fabric are cut into the panels that will be used for the production work.  These panels are sent to sublimate, and when returned, are sewn together into the finished garment.  Using this method, there is 100% coverage of sublimation decoration and the finished product has no gaps near seams where sublimation did not occur.  This method is preferred and used by most large manufacturing companies.

The second type of sublimation is done in a post cut and sew scenario.  In this type of process, the garments are already sewn into it’s finished product, for example a T-Shirt.  This T-Shirt is ironed flat with an industrial iron and then sent to sublimate.  This process works well, but there are some defects that can’t be avoided.  In particular, blank areas on T-Shirts where sublimation does not occur, can typically be found near the seams, in the arm pit areas and by the neck.

When comparing the price of cut and sew sublimation to post sewn sublimation, the differences are vast.  So small defects that are hardly noticeable, are often accepted by the customer.

One of the hottest retreads in garment decorating technology is Dye Sublimation Printing.  Retreads you ask?  Yes, Dye Sublimation has been around for over 20 years.  The reason why it died off was because wearing polyester clothing became passe.

Nike, Adidas and Under Armour injected new life blood into Dye Sublimation Printing when they launched the concept of “Performance Fabrics” and “Moisture Management” or “Wicking”.

Dye Sublimation

The process of Dye Sublimation Printing involves specialized inks, industrial heat and pressure, experience and polyester fabrics or poly family members like Rayon, Nylon, Spandex, Satin etc …

Graphic artists design a T-Shirt in the computer.  This is then output to a special printer, loaded with special inks and transfer medium.  Once output, the image is then applied using intense heat and pressure.

Polyester fabrics soak up the design in brilliant detail and crisp, photo realistic fashion.  The result … nothing short of amazing and stunning.  Dye Sublimation Printing can produce a virtual 360 degree design wrapped around a T-Shirt.

Sublimation Printing typically takes on two forms.  The first is a cut and sew sublimation operation.  In this scenerio, fabric panels are cut, dye sublimated and then sewn into the finished garment.  This type of process ensures that no missing sublimation seams occur, and the results are virtually perfect.

The second method is performing sublimation on an existing garment like a T-Shirt or Hoodie.  This works, but there will always be creasing in the fabric that results in small areas of the finished garment remaining white.  These imperfections are usually around the arm pits and near the seams.

When designers, consumers or entrepreneurs consider the costs between cut and sew and already sewn sublimation, the small imperfections of post sewn sublimation are often acceptable results.

Not too many garment, textile of fabric decoration methods will upstage the wow factor of a custom Sublimation Print.  Using polyester fabrics to make Dresses, T-Shirts, Socks or other items, designers can produce amazing all over prints using the process of custom Sublimation Print.

Sublimation Print

Designing cool cloths requires a special talent that involves vision, fashion sense and a sense of adventure.  Patterns and solid colors are cool, but using a Sublimation Print is cooler.

Polyester, Rayon, Nylon, Satin and Spandex can all accept a Sublimation Print well.  Even fabrics that contain cotton can be used, as long as the polyester content doesn’t drop below 70%.

The technology behind a Sublimation Print involves specialized dye sublimation inks, graphic design, polyester and industrial heat.  Once artwork is prepared, it is first output on special wide format industrial printers, this output is printed on specially coated papers and then transferred with heat and pressure to the fabric.

Unlike screen printing where the design is printed using inks that lay on top of the fabric, custom Sublimation Print technology fuses the design into the fibers of the fabric.  The design is converted from the sold ink that it begins as into a gas and back into pigment in the fabric.

When wearing a garment that was created with a Sublimation Print, the person wearing it can not feel the design on the inside or outside, it as if the fabric were created that way from the start.

Most Sublimation Print projects are done in a cut and sew shop where panels of fabric are cut, sublimated, edge to edge, then sewn together into a finished garment.  But with advances in Sublimation Print technology, it is possible to sublimate on already sewn items with a very high degree of success.
