Meet Future Ink Traditions

We’re not just printers. We’re artists who live for bold visuals, underground culture, and the hands-on process of making things that last.

Future Ink Traditions is an artist-owned screen printing studio based in Vancouver, built for bands, designers, and creatives who care about individuality, not mass production. Our roots are in DIY screen printing, and we still run the press ourselves. No outsourced jobs, no corporate gloss, just real custom apparel pulled by hand in our East Van shop.

From one-off t-shirt drops to merch tables stacked with band gear, we help people show up in the world with apparel that reflects their identity.

A Screen Printing Studio Built by Artists

Silkscreen printing with soul.

We didn’t launch this studio because we wanted to sell blank tees with logos. We started Future Ink because we believe in the art of print. Everything we make is screen printed the old-school way: one layer at a time, with attention, intention, and ink under our fingernails.

We’re a small team with a deep respect for the process. That means slower, better work, and a final product you can actually feel good about wearing.

Inspired by Subculture, Printed with Intention

Retro. Raw. Real.

Our influences are everywhere. 90s anime, skateboarding, punk and hip hop flyers, old gig posters, and analogue print shops with more ink than light. This isn’t trendy design for the sake of aesthetics - it’s streetwear with story, context, and edge.

We work with indie musicians, tattooers, local labels, and creators across the cultural spectrum. If you’ve got something to say, we’ll help you wear it.
