Inkers Attend the HOW Design Live Conference
Last weekend my fellow Inker Ben and I traveled to Chicago for the HOW Design Live Conference. Thousands of designers, freelancers, and in-house managers came together to learn and be inspired — by each other and the many speakers working in the design industry. There were sessions about technique, new technology, brainstorming, staying [...]
Customer Stories: Ragnar Relays
As I was going through some Ink of the Week photos, I noticed some really active customers. Always making my lazy bones look bad! It turns out that CustomInk has helped dress at least 19 Ragnar Relay teams since 2007! CustomInk t-shirts have been worn for thousands of miles in Arizona, Washington, Minnesota, California, New York, Utah, [...]

CustomInk (almost) Runs Away with the RailsConf 5k!
I had no idea how much technology goes into the making of a custom t-shirt until I talked to our software engineers about a conference they attended last week. Apparently, our technology teams maintain over 30 applications that do everything from generating price quotes in the online Design Lab to notifying customers when their order has [...]
An Inker’s Tribute to Oprah

The majority of survey participants chose Oprah as the celebrity who would most fit in at their family reunion. And it’s certainly timely since her last show aired this week. We have [...]
Can I Pay With a Purchase Order?

If you are part of a school or a large organization, POs can make ordering a whole lot easier.
