Spotlight on Inkstone: The Apparel Printing Experts Behind ArcFest & ArcOpen

At ArcFest, we love to shine a spotlight on businesses and people that support the gaming and hobby community - especially when they’re run by passionate hobbyists themselves!

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Inkstone Custom Apparel Printing, our official merchandise partner for ArcFest and ArcOpen 2025.

If you’re grabbing one of this year’s limited-edition event T-shirts, you’ll be getting Inkstone quality—top-tier printing on high-quality garments, made by a team that truly cares about their craft. But who are they, and what makes them special?

Meet Inkstone

Based in Kirrawee, NSW, Inkstone Custom Apparel Printing specializes in screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, embroidery, and digital heat transfers. Whether it’s custom T-shirts, workwear, sportswear, or branded apparel, they handle everything in-house, ensuring precision, durability, and vibrant prints.

What really sets Inkstone apart is their passion for quality. They don’t just slap designs onto fabric—they care about the end product, making sure each print looks crisp, vibrant, and long-lasting.

A Business That Supports the Hobby

Inkstone isn’t just another print shop - they’ve been actively supporting the miniature painting community for some time! Recently they’ve provided merchandise for Crimson Brush and Guilds Inn, and now, they’re bringing their expertise to ArcFest and ArcOpen.

Tim, the owner and driving force behind Inkstone, is an active member of the display painting community. Part of the Sydney Display Painters Guild he’s a regular attendee at the monthly meetings. His work is award worth and in the past 18 months he’s entered a range of amazing pieces in all the major painting events including last year’s ArcOpen.

So, Tim certainly understands the level of care and detail that goes into the hobby - so it’s no surprise that Inkstone brings that same dedication and craftsmanship to their printing.
