2025 FOCUS MAG

We were recently featured in Focus Magazine Port Macquarie, where we had the chance to chat about the journey behind BlackDog Ink, our creative process, and what it means to build a hands-on print studio on the Mid North Coast.

The article highlights our roots, our love of screen printing, and the local community that inspires everything we do.

JONES BROTHERS

We were thrilled to collaborate with Jones Brothers' Print Technology on a project showcasing their new Polar White ink. Using our in-house screen printing techniques and original artwork by Australian artist Sigh, the project highlighted the subtle texture and layering possibilities of this specialty ink.

It was a great opportunity to explore new materials and contribute to the creative potential of print innovation.
