Now you are probably asking yourself what is large format silk screen printing? Large format silk screen printing is not very commonly practiced in the printing industry.

Large Format Silk Screen Printing

The process of large format silk screen printing begins with creating a specialized jumbo screen, which we produce ourselves in house. The screens are custom built for each job. Once the screen is developed our artist converts the artwork on a specialized digital film. After that process the image is transferred to specialized screens through a large formant UV curing system. After the screen dry they are mounted on our large format screen printing presses and the printing can begin. Large format silk screen printing is the same as traditional screen printing except on a larger scale.

AMBRO Manufacturing is a specialty contract screen printing company that specializes in Jumbo Screen Printing. Often called All Over Shirt Printing, Large Format Screen Printing, Over Sized Screen Printing or a variety of other suitable descriptions, Jumbo Screen Printing on the entire surface area of a T-Shirt, from seam to seam, shoulder to waist and on the neck.

Jumbo Screen Printing

Most standard screen printing presses offer a maximum of a 14” x 16” print area. This type of print area is perfect any T-Shirt. However, when artists and fashion designers begin offering T-Shirts with prints that completely cover the surface area of the front and back of a T-Shirt, these small screen sizes won’t do the job.

There is no governing body in the screen printing industry that defines what Jumbo Screen Printing actually means. As a result, providers across the country make claims of Jumbo Screen Printing and they can’t always provide the level of print that is expected by their customers.

Some screen printers that don’t have Jumbo Screen Printing equipment will “seam” together two prints to give the illusion of an all over print. Even with manual alignment, seaming always leaves a noticeable seam area.

In order to truly get an all over screen print, specialized screens, pallets and presses must be used.

AMBRO Manufacturing has an internal machine shop staffed with engineers that provide the tooling and experience necessary for us to achieve truly large screen printing results.

AMBRO Manufacturing defines “Jumbo” as anything starting with 40” x 40” of print area, we calculate not the size of the frame, but the actual size of the printable area. Large format screen printing is a specialty that few screen printers offer.

AMBRO Manufacturing is a privately held and operated contract screen printer in Flemington, NJ.  Our specialties include : Jumbo Screen Printing, Over Sized Screen Printing, Large Format Screen Printing, Sublimation Printing and All Over Shirt Printing.

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.
