Every reburned screen and every extra round of proofs eats time and margin. Most shops are guessing whether approved art will actually print. INDX takes the guessing out.

One art director. A direct line.
INDX started because shop owners kept telling me the same thing. Big art services cost too much, passed them from designer to designer, and were hard to talk to. I've spent about 15 years in print, from a screen print internship to offset and digital, packaging design, and back to screen printing. INDX gives shops one art director who knows the press, answers the phone, and helps build the process behind the art.
Design, seps, and consulting that cut reburns and reproofs, so shops print what customers approve.
What we believe
- Straight talk. You talk to the person doing your work.
- Press-ready or it isn't done.
- Human-made. Every file comes from a person, not a prompt.
- Know production. Every file is built for the way you print.
- Systems behind the art. Nothing slips through the cracks.
- Your win is our win. Dial in the front of house so the back of house can just print.
