About us

The Oregon printing powerhouse known as PORTLAND INK hails from the humblest of beginnings. In 2013 our Founder Robert Daddario was selling trending products like cell phone accessories and home goods on Amazon and Ebay when the market for trending pop culture tees garnered his interest. Our in-house brand NuffSaid was born and the competition began amongst online sellers tackling the newest ideas on the market. As time went on the business was growing, but there was a local element missing for us which spurned the idea of Portland Ink—a truly local and handmade business built on the ideas and craftsmanship of Portland’s talented artists and makers. What started as a DTG (direct to garment) print shop in a NE Montavilla garage expanded in to dye-sublimation, embroidery, cut-and-sew and our bread and butter—screen printing: taking up 11,000 sq/ft in the Central Eastside Industrial area. Husband and wife at the helm, battling to keep the business thriving through the pandemic, there were even bigger challenges putting pressure on the business. In 2021, we lost Robert Daddario to a horrific battle with a rare cancer. Angela Arment, his wife and partner continues the business with a notion that life is worth living and if we can work half as hard as Rob did, then we’ve done an incredible job. As he would say, “the time to make hay, is when the sun is shining” and “every knock is a boost” and that’s how we take on projects here at Portland Ink, with an unwavering determination to make great custom products.
