History
Hemlock
Ink was formed in early 2003 by Damon Leibert and Neal Cadogan, two Boston
musicians, who were looking to make t-shirts for their band. After becoming
frustrated with local screen printers, the two invested in a small press, and
began printing themselves. Altough the process was long and troublesome, the two
entreupeunors finally got the hang of it. In the following weeks their peers on
the music scene saw the quality that Neal and Damon were creating, and inquired
about having shirts of their own produced. The boys happily obliged, word got
out, and soon the bars and clubs that hosted the bands wanted to know who to see
about having their own t-shirts printed. As the snowball effect took hold, Damon
and Neal decided to invest themselves fully into the business. New equipment was
purchased, new systems for production were put into place, and the company was
branded "Hemlock Ink". Finally December found Hemlock Ink leaving it's basement
beginnings and moving into a full production facility right smack dab in the
heart of Union Square, Somerville. April saw the web launch of Hemlock online.
Our client base has predominately spread through word of mouth, which speaks
volumes of the quality and service which we are so proud of. Hemlock Ink remains
at it's roots, owned and operated by the two who started it, printing,
designing, and talking with clients, and somehow still enjoying a full time
career in music. To all our customers who inspired us and helped us get off the
ground, thanks for a great beginning; and to all the customers who we have yet
to meet, give Hemlock Ink a shot, you'll be happy you did. |
