About InkBird Print Studio
Our Values
We proudly support equality, human rights, and kindness for all. We are happy to print for causes rooted in equality, inclusion, and human dignity.
If your project promotes hate, discrimination, intolerance, or violence, we’re not your printer.
InkBird Print Studio
InkBird Print Studio LLC is a small woman-owned business located in Pontiac, Michigan.
We are one of the last large format silk-screen printers in the state (We who specialize in signage & art, no t-shirts). We were once been called a unicorn in the printing industry for our specialty capabilities, which we love!
We have expanded into 3D printing, wide-format graphics and digital printing, large format lamination, laser cutting, and more.

Why "InkBird Print Studio"?
Claire grew up working in her Dad's shop right here at the 40 West Howard building in Pontiac. In 2018, we moved back to Michigan when he was ready to retire, Claire adopted his equipment and built InkBird Print Studio!
In addition to sharing a profession, Claire and her Dad also share a pet! His name was Alex, and he came to live with Chris and I over a decade ago.
So, we have...
Profession: Screen Printing (Ink)
Pet: Bird
What do we do?: Printing
We make art! And we do much more than just printing: Studio
Ta-daaa! "InkBird Print Studio".
Meet Alex
Alex, our African Grey parrot, and the namesake of InkBird Print Studio, passed away in July 2025 at the ripe old age of 44. He was deeply loved, and we will miss his companionship, chatter, whistles, and big personality.
In his words: "See ya later"
We miss you, buddy.
If you feel inspired to help another bird find a loving home and live a long happy life like Alex, please consider donating to a bird rescue near you. The one nearest us is Mulberry Acres, their gofundme is below. We are not affiliated with this non-profit.
