How we publish
Articles on InkMerge are researched by the team and reviewed by Aslan before publishing. Bylines read “InkMerge Team” because content reflects collaborative work, not the output of a single author. Technical claims about press settings, fabric compatibility, wash durability, and pricing are tested in our USA shop or sourced from primary documentation (manufacturer specs, public investor filings, official platform documentation).
Where we make claims about competitors, we link to their public sites and pricing. Where we make claims about our own performance (wash testing, turnaround times, shipping costs), the data comes from real production batches and is updated when conditions change.
Where to verify our claims
- 75+ wash tested — see our wash test protocol for the actual test procedure and results
- 24-48 hour turnaround — tracked per-order in our Shopify dashboard; we email if an order won't meet this window
- $0.02 per square inch pricing — published on every product page and updated when costs change
- $100K+ shipped since 2020 — from internal accounting; current as of late 2025
- Printed in the USA — every order shipped from our Texas press, no exceptions
