About Us

Ink Pusher is a thoughtfully run print shop in Asheville, NC. Owner Timm Watrous brings almost 20 years of industry know-how and resources to Ink Pusher. Our mission is simple: maintain a small but highly efficient operation while ensuring a healthy work/life balance. It's an ongoing goal that's easier said than done and has taken years to achieve.

We don’t believe that constant growth is the only measure of a successful business. Instead, we focus on getting the most out of our work. For us, it’s about quality of life and the freedom that a streamlined operation provides. By keeping our overhead low and working with a relatively consistent client base, we’ve created a highly refined environment where we can compete with larger companies while still providing a personal touch.

Sustainability and ethical practices are also key values at Ink Pusher. The garment industry has significant environmental and labor challenges, so we prioritize garments and products that meet the highest standards, focusing on top-tier quality and service. Be transparent, be friendly, be a good person, it's pretty simple.
