All Over Shirt

All Over Shirt Screen Printing is very different than standard screen printing.  The first and most missed element is the various additional screens required for the process.

In most standard screen printing jobs, the most screens that you might use for different sizes would be two sets.  Typically a set for adult and a set for youth.  In All Over Shirt Screen Printing, one set per size is required.  So if you have 6 sizes in your run and you have 4 colors in each design, you’ll need 24 screens for that single job.  Since screen setup costs for All Over Shirt prints tend to be higher, you may want to prepare your client for much higher setup fees.

By natue an All Over Shirt screen print is … well … all over.  The integrity of a specific design might be impacted by the size of the shirt.  As an example, let’s say that you were licensed to print Kermit The Frog.  If Kermit’s head was 30 inches wide in the design and you were printing on Small, Medium, Large, XL and 2XL, Kermit’s ears would not get printed on the smalls and mediums because 30 inches exceeds the width of those garments.  Kermit would fit perfectly on the large and on the XL and 2XL there would be a lot of blank space.  Each size shirt in the rung would make the design look very different.  It is for this reason that in a true All Over Shirt print, separate screens for each size shirt must be made.

Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts

Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts

AMBRO Manufacturing provides Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts to companies across the U.S.  With custom made jumbo screen printing presses, our specialties include: Jumbo Screen Printing, Over Sized Screen Printing, Large Format Screen Printing and Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts.

Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts

One of the frustrating components of searching for a contract screen printing company that specializes in Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts is that your results will turn up hundreds of candidates, and none of them can print as big as you need them too.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive definition of the word “Oversized” when it comes to the print world.  This means that you might be hitching your cart to a screen printer who defines oversized as 25″.  While that is an impressive print stroke, it’s no where near “oversized”.

We believe that Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts should not come into play until a minimum of 40″.  Our standard Jumbo or Oversized screen printing area is 40″ x 40″.  Beyond that we have several specialty screens, that measure in feet vs inches.  Whatever the print job requires, we can handle.

AMBRO Manufacturing staffs an in house machine shop that regularly develops new screens to meet the needs of our customers.  If you have an Oversized Screen Printing requirement, we would like to meet you.

Most of the Oversized Screen Printing T Shirts work that we do is actually on T-Shirts, but there is a wide range of other garments, fabrics and textiles that we print on where oversized screen printing is required.  From flags, to blankets, towels, trade show banners and many other items, our jumbo screen printing presses can handle the work.

Even more important than our equipment is our experience and knowledge.  We spend time in advance of starting a project, talking with customers to ensure that we fully understand their requirements.

Large Screen Printing

Large Screen Printing

Large Screen Printing

Large Screen Printing is a relative term in the screen printing industry.  Many screen printers claim to have the capabilities to print Jumbo Screen Prints or Over Sized Screen Printing.  Some call this All Over Shirt Printing or All-Over-Shirt Prints.  Ideally, Large Screen Printing is the largest surface area of print that you need for your project.

Large Screen Printing

As an expert garment, textile and fabric printing company, AMBRO Manufacturing has over 30 years of experience in the Screen Printing industry.  Our primary specialty is Large Screen Printing.  With a standard large print area of 40″ x 40″, we can handle most Large Screen Printing jobs without the need for retooling.  However, we have an onsite machine shop that is capable of developing any size screen required for your print job.

When using Large Screen Printing for your project, keep in mind that unlike traditional screen printing, all over prints require that you have a separate screen for each size garment in your run.  This will translate into slightly higher setup costs but will result in you achieving your overall result.

Custom Dye Sublimation Printing can often be mistaken for Large Screen Printing.  The overall nature of the print is similar, but the technologies are different and the look and feel of the fabrics are also different.

Sublimation technology requires polyester fabrics and Large Screen Printing has no fabric preference.  This is a benefit for using screen printing.  However, Sublimation technology saturates the fabric and leaves virtually 100% coverage with no added weight or feel to the garment, Large Screen Printing leaves a fair amount of ink on the surface of the fabric.

Working with large screen printing and all over shirt printing experts is a must when considering a project of this type.  Pre Planning makes a huge difference in the end result.

AMBRO Manufacturing provides Wholesale T Shirt Printing Services to the trade.  With clients all over North America and Canada, AMBRO Manufacturing provides exceptional customer service, fast turn around time, fair pricing and amazing quality.

Wholesale T Shirt Printing

When doing your research for Wholesale T Shirt Printing partners, it’s important to fully vet the companies that you are considering.  Wholesale T Shirt Printing companies come in various shapes and sizes.  Some might be too big for you, and while they can do the work, you’ll just be a number to them and you will rarely get a return phone call or the ability to discuss your project with them.

Other Wholesale T Shirt Printing companies will be too small for you.  You may like the contact that you’ve met, but in most cases that contact does everything at the company and when overwhelmed with work, may have the best intentions, but not enough hours in the day to either finish your work, or call you back when you have questions.

Then, there are moderate, middle of the road companies, that are just big enough to handle your Wholesale T Shirt Printing requirements, but not so big that they will not know who you are when you call.  There is a lot to be said about the ability to call your partner and have them know your name by voice alone and have immediate recall of why you are calling and what stage your job is in.

In many instances these medium sized Wholesale T Shirt Printing companies are the perfect fit for most any project, large or small.

When interviewing potential partners, don’t be afraid to ask as many questions up front as you can.  Remember, their work, communication, quality, customer service and pricing will all translate into what you can provide to your customer.  Your Wholesale T Shirt Printing partner will be a direct reflection of you.

Full Dye Sublimation

Full Dye Sublimation

Full Dye Sublimation

AMBRO Manufacturing is a garment, textile and fabric decorating company with over 30 years of embellishment experience.  Our specialty areas of decoration are over sized screen printing, jumbo screen printing, all-over-shirt printing and Full Dye Sublimation.

Full Dye Sublimation

The process of Full Dye Sublimation involves specialized wide format industrial printing equipment, specialized sublimation dyes, industrial heat and pressure, and white polyester fabrics.

Polyester fabrics come in a wide range of styles and textures for Full Dye Sublimation.  The more polyester content that is included in a fabric, the more vivid and crisp the colors and design for the Full Dye Sublimation project will be.

Polyester family members like Rayon, Nylon, Satin and Spandex will also work well.  Fashion tees that have a blend of cotton and polyester can work, but the more cotton that is added to the fabric blend, the less bright and less crisp the images will be.

Full Dye Sublimation is typically used for cut and sew projects where the fabric panels required in the garment are cut and dyed first, then sewn together.  However, with recent advances in Full Dye Sublimation technologies, companies like AMBRO Manufacturing can produce post sewn Full Dye Sublimation garments, i.e. T-Shirts, Hoodies, Tank Tops etc … that have already been sewn into those items, can be placed flat on the press and sublimated.

When using an existing garment for a Full Dye Sublimation project, there will be some areas of the garment that are not able to receive the sublimation print.  These areas are typically where the shirt creases, under the arm pits, near the seams etc.  This is unavoidable when sublimating on existing garments.  Even the most experienced sublimation printing experts can not avoid this issue.

The solution is to create artwork that understands these limitations and makes them less noticeable.

All Over Screen Printing

All Over Screen Printing

All Over Screen Printing

All Over Screen Printing is the impressive practice of using traditional silk screen printing technology, with oversized screens, squeegies and a jumbo press to accomplish a beautiful all over shirt look, without the need for sublimation printing.

All Over Screen Printing

AMBRO Manufacturing has been in the garment, textile and fabric printing business for more than 30 years.  Specializing in All Over Screen Printing, AMBRO Manufacturing has the expertise and experience that you’ll need to have a successful All Over Screen Printing project.

Sublimation Printing can produce impressive results for all over printing but you are limited to polyester fabrics for your garment choices.  Using All Over Screen Printing, any fabric or garment can be used.

There are some distinct differences between custom dye sublimation printing and Jumbo Screen Printing, mainly the saturation levels of the print, and the technologies used to produce the print.

Custom Dye Sublimation offers a “no feel” result, vs. All Over Screen Printing that has some feel to it.

Typically All Over Screen Printing is done using 2, maybe three colors at most, and the standard size print area of the garment is done with traditional dimensions.  The reason for this is that once the print area reaches the outer edges of the print screen, it is difficult to maintain proper registration.

All Over Screen Printing is often used to produce accents on the edges, sleeves and neck, and standard screen printing to create the core of the design in the center of the garment.

If you haven’t seen an all over print, you are definitely missing out, as the results are simply stunning and spectacular.  Working with an experienced jumbo screen printer is important, when selecting a company to partner with, make sure that you request samples of their work.

All Over Sublimation Printing

All Over Sublimation Printing

All Over Sublimation Printing

All Over Sublimation Printing is the process that custom garment printers use to create the vivid, all over prints that you see on urban shirts in retail locations and on street corners.  The process of All Over Sublimation Printing relies on polyester fabrics, dye sublimation inks and industrial heat and pressure.  The results of All Over Sublimation Printing are nothing short of stunning.  Vivid colors, photo realistic printing, crisp edges and very high resolution details are all to be expected when using custom dye sublimation printing.

All Over Sublimation Printing

As a provider of custom garment decoration services that include : All Over Sublimation Printing, Over Sized Screen Printing, Jumbo Screen Printing, Embroidery, DTG “Direct To Garment” Printing and Cut and Sew, AMBRO Manufacturing is a highly qualified and experienced All Over Sublimation Printing specialist.

Custom Dye Sublimation Printing should not be confused with oversized or jumbo screen printing.  Screen printing uses inks that lay on top of the fabrics being decorated.  All Over Sublimation Printing fuses dyes into the fabric directly.  When running your hand over the top of the item being decorated you can not feel the design.

Polyester fabrics are used to create the Custom Dye Sublimation Printing effect.  High poly blends that include at least 70% polyester can also be used, and polyester family members like Nylon, Rayon, Satin, Spandex and others can also be used to achieve a high quality All Over Sublimation Printing result.

Sublimation printing is done either in a cut and sew environment or in a post sewn, existing T-Shirt environment.  Each process has pluses and minuses that you should discuss with a sublimation expert like AMBRO Manufacturing.

All Over Print Shirts

There is often confusion on the type of printing used to accomplish the look of All Over Print Shirts.  There are essentially 3 methods of achieving an all over print shirts look, and two of the three methods can be accomplished on existing garments.

All Over Print Shirts

Method #1

The most popular method today for producing All Over Print Shirts is the use of custom Dye Sublimation Printing.  This process involves the use of an already sewn T-Shirt that is completely white and made out of 100% polyester, high poly blends like 80/20 or 70/30 or made with polyester family members like: Spandex, Nylon, Satin, Rayon etc …

Sublimation T Shirt Printing will enable a designer to create a T-Shirt design that can be printed on the neck, sleeves, waist, front and back of a T-Shirt.  Using specialized dye sublimation inks and industrial heat and pressure, designs are fused into the fabic of the T-Shirt.  The result is eye popping colors, crisp edges, photo realism and a no-feel design.  Since the inks are dyed into the fabric, there is no feel to the design, it as if the shirt were manufactured that way during the fabric creation stage.

Method #2

Using special screen printing equipment that is designed to print all over the face of a T-Shirt, specialty garment, textile and clothing companies like AMBRO Manufacturing can provide All Over Print Shirts services using screen printing.  Most people think that sublimation or patterned fabrics are the only way to achieve and all over print shirts look, this isn’t true.  Jumbo Screen Printing or Over Sized Screen Printing can produce an amazing effect and accomplish printing on post sewn T-Shirts.  This print can extend on the sleeves, neck, T-Shirt Wrap Around Printing and down to the waist.  Front and back printing can be accomplished as well.

Method #3

The final method of accomplishing an All Over Print Shirts look is to use custom patterned fabrics.  This can only be accomplished in a true cut and sew project and requires that the shirts be manufactured to your specifications.

If you are interested in an All Over Print Shirts project, please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

Sublimation Print

Sublimation Print

Sublimation Print

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.
