Built on Legacy,
Driven by Heart
The story of two people, one dream, and a print shop that carries it forward.
A Shared Dream
In 2020, Kyle Buckner and his nephew Austin Sparks were working side by side at DesignSkinz.com, creating custom skins and designs for devices.
It was during those long hours together that a new idea started taking shape. They saw an opportunity to bring quality custom printing to the Danville, Virginia community — starting with t-shirts and growing into something bigger.
The concept was simple: great design, premium materials, and personal service that only a local business can deliver. They called it IINKDROP — a name that captured the precision and creativity at the heart of every great print.

Austin's Legacy
The IINKDROP dream was put on hold as life moved forward. Then, in October 2021, Austin passed away unexpectedly. His loss left a deep void — not just for Kyle, but for everyone who knew Austin's energy, humor, and creative spark.
Austin was the kind of person who made everything more fun. He brought ideas to life with enthusiasm and never took shortcuts on quality. His creative spirit was infectious, and it lives on in every project IINKDROP takes on.
Kyle Buckner
Kyle brings years of hands-on experience in design and print production. His work at DesignSkinz.com gave him deep knowledge of vinyl printing, color management, and product customization at scale.
But Kyle's background goes beyond technical skills. He understands what it means to run a business in Danville — the importance of relationships, fair pricing, and standing behind your work.
Now, with IINKDROP, Kyle has expanded into a full-service printing studio offering everything from custom apparel to vehicle wraps, signs, stickers, and business printing. The mission is clear: deliver exceptional print quality while keeping Austin's creative vision alive.
