Frequently Asked Questions

What is Thriving Ink?

Thriving Ink shirts are designed by real artists from around the world as art for art’s sake; Thriving Ink has simply put the art onto a wearable canvas – shirts.



What kind of shirts do you print on?

We print on American Apparel 100% ringspun cotton, tri-blend 25/25/50, and poly cotton blends. Occasionally we print on Alternative Apparel t-shirt blanks, so be sure to check the product description when you are shopping.



How do I prevent my shirt from shrinking?

All 100% cotton tees will shrink when you wash them. However, if you wash them inside-out in cold water and then hang them up to dry, you can prevent shrinking.



Who designs your tees?

All Thrving Ink tees are commissioned by each artist and hand selected. If you would like to be considered to be a thriving ink artist please contact Matthew Dronkers aT mattd@thrivingink.com
