The short answer
InkSoft is good software for apparel and promotional decoration - online team stores and a garment designer that decorators like. Its limit is breadth: it is narrow to apparel and promo, with weaker support for general commercial, sign and wide-format print and for B2B account pricing. Printmio is the alternative for shops that sell across the whole print catalogue and need full corporate accounts.
The upside
Where InkSoft is strong
Apparel decoration
Purpose-built for screen-print, embroidery and promotional garments.
Team and group stores
Easy online stores for teams, schools and clubs ordering decorated garments.
A capable garment designer
A well-liked online designer tuned for decorating apparel.
The difference
Where Printmio fits better
Your whole catalogue
Apparel plus business cards, banners, signs and wide-format - all designed, priced and ordered from one store.
Pricing for any print
Charge a flat price, a percentage markup, by area, by quantity break or with your own formula - not just apparel-style pricing.
Full B2B corporate accounts
Departments, private catalogues, negotiated pricing and pay on account for your business clients.
Print-ready files for the press
A 300 DPI CMYK PDF straight from any order, for commercial and wide-format work, not only garment files.
