About
Ink The West began like any other small business—with a dream and a head full of creative ideas. Our founder, Rito Montero, envisioned a space where personal expression and imagination could come to life through custom clothing and designs. What started as a passion for unique, high-quality prints quickly evolved into a business dedicated to serving individuals, teams, schools, churches, and local businesses. Rito’s vision was to offer more than just screen printing; he wanted to create a platform where ideas, big and small, could be transformed into tangible products that help people express themselves, promote their businesses, or build community.

Over the years, Ink The West has expanded its services to include a wide range of screen printing and graphic design solutions. We specialize in custom apparel, such as t-shirts, hats, hoodies, and uniforms, designed for schools, sports teams, churches, and more. Whether you’re outfitting a group of volunteers, creating school spirit wear, or looking for the perfect concert merchandise to sell at your event, we have the expertise and equipment to bring your vision to life. In addition to clothing, we also offer printing services for banners, signs, and other materials for municipalities, helping local governments and organizations effectively communicate with their communities.
At Ink The West, we take pride in the relationships we’ve built with our clients, treating each project with the care and attention it deserves. We understand that custom apparel and print materials are an extension of your identity—whether you’re representing a school, promoting a business, or celebrating a special event. That’s why we work closely with every customer to ensure the final product aligns with their vision, needs, and budget. Our commitment to quality and service drives us to constantly push the boundaries of creativity while maintaining the highest standards in print quality and durability.
From the first sketch to the final print, Ink The West is here to make your ideas come to life. Based in Los Angeles, we are proud to serve our local community and beyond, delivering exceptional products and building lasting partnerships with each and every client. We’re excited to continue growing and innovating, and we invite you to join us on this creative journey.
