Questions
How does IndyInk determine pricing for custom orders?
Pricing depends on order quantity and design colors. Setup costs remain fixed regardless of quantity, so larger orders reduce per-unit costs.

Can I mix different garments within the same price break?
Yes, as long as artwork remains consistent across garments. Significant fabric weight differences may incur a $50 adjustment fee.
Do you charge for ink color changes?
Orders under 300 units incur a $30 screen cleaning fee per color change. Color changes are free for orders exceeding 300 units.

Dave and his team are the Best in town. Don't waste your time and money on cheap middle-of-the-mall shirts. IndyInk is the best quality, and best customer service I've ever encountered. Thanks again Dave!

I had the privilege of working with IndyInk recently, and can't say enough good things about the overall experience and staff there. Always great to see a local business have such a focus on customer service, attention to detail, quality of product.and a commitment to giving back to the local community while they're at it!

I met with IndyInk to have an order of 150 shirts printed. I provided sample shirts, ink recipes, and ink samples, but when I picked up the order, all of the shirts had misaligned registration and the ink colors appeared very faded. They were nothing like the samples that I brought in. After the fact, they told me that they didn't feel like they had the technical skills to print my shirts for me, and I'm out $800 in addition to the print cost. As a small business owner, this had a big impact on my business, as well as the retail stores who were to receive the shirts that they misprinted.

I've used Indyink for 6 years - we have a team that participates in the St Baldrick's head shaving event each year and we've always used Indyink for our team's t-shirts. They've always delivered the shirts on time and the quality has been great. I still see people on our team wearing shirts that are six years old and still look good.
