We had so much fun working with CCC Sterling Heights and their graphic designer for these new wall graphics! The green was a custom Pantone match to a velvet couch in their lobby.

We stopped by to visit a client a few weeks after putting decals on their fleet of trucks. They said they got their first call citing the truck decals as the reason a few days after we left! 🥰

Artists! Let us know what we can make for you! We can print cookie cutters and stamps (for crafts/clay), signature stamps, textures & patterns (rigid or flexible), and more.
We love creative projects! An artist friend sent this client to us for a custom 3D printed clay extruder plate.
These shapes will create a ribbed ribbon of clay to be woven together for ceramic baskets 😍

It has been a while since I've spent multiple days on the press 😴😵💫
Custom mixed red ink (pantone 185C) with an adhesion promoter to help them last longer. After a cut, heat crease & fold, you may see them in a grocery store near you✌️

The new enclosure for our desktop laser cutter, built with scrap alumalite and 3d printed parts.
😎🔆Don't worry, we have a protective cover for the top and special lenses to wear to protect our eyes when working nearby🔆😎

A large and long roll of clear laminate, the front is in focus, the background is out of focus. There is a hand removing tape from the roll in the background.
There's just something about a brand new roll of material 🤌
We use this 3mil overlaminate to protect your prints and stickers!
#stickers #weatherproof #smallshop #shopsmall #inkbirdprintstudio
Our 3d printer, in the enclosure Chris printed and built for it, printing parts for the enclosure of our laser cutter/etcher.
This thing is a game changer for us, we can use it to print some parts for our old machines whose companies don't exist anymore.

A photo of a freshly washed out silkscreen. Depicts figures rollerskating.
Film printing in progress!. Heavy black ink on a transparent film.
Film applied to a screen inside a vacuum, exposed to a BRIGHT UV light for 200 seconds
We love working with artists. This is a custom photo editing project for one of our neighbors. Halftone edits burned into a screen, so they can screenprint paint and ceramic glaze. We were able to do every step in-house! 😍
Can we help you make art?
