The Best of Ink of the Week 2010
At the start of a new year, I thought it would be cool to look back at our customer photos and pick the top ten of two thousand and ten. Who doesn’t enjoy a good top ten list? Trouble was, I couldn’t decide how to rank them…so I approached it more as superlatives. Introducing The Best of… our 2010 Inks of the Week!
Top 5 Designs
As 2010 comes to a close I wanted to show off some designs our Sales/Service reps have made this past year. When people find out that we work at a t-shirt company we’re always hearing “you must have some great t-shirts yourself!” That we do! Here is a quick Top 5 that I pulled together.
Why Won’t My Image Print?
Many of you like to create photo t-shirts using your personal photographs. Adding your photo to our Design Lab is easy… the tricky part is knowing whether the quality is good enough to print.

Kim H. of our Production Art team wanted to give a new meaning to our Free Food Friday, so she suggested giving up Friday lunch at CustomInk during the month of December and instead sending the money not spent [...]
Screen Printing vs. Digital Printing – Part 2
The Bottom Line Screen-printing is great for orders of 6 or more with solid colors, and can achieve photographic quality prints at higher (50+) quantities. With its thicker ink application, screen-printing lends itself well to printing vibrant colors on dark shirts. Digital printing gives us the flexibility to print designs and [...]
