Frequent Questions
What do you mean by “custom”?
If you design it, we can make it a reality. Any image or design can grace your next playmat, dice bag, mousepad, tote, crate, tapestry or hoodie. Your imagination is the only limitation. Well, that and our policy regarding unacceptable images.
What constitutes an unacceptable image for custom submissions?
We cannot print any trademarked or copyrighted work without permission. This includes company logos, sports teams logos, college logos, artists’ work that we do not feature on our website, etc. Please refrain from uploading anything that contains content that defames or vilifies any person, people, race, religion or religious group and/or is obscene, pornographic, indecent, harassing, threatening, harmful, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable.
If I have an idea for a custom image, will Inked Gaming design it for me?
At this time we are in the business of printing and manufacturing, not of designing. Eventually, we would like to have a collective of artists who are willing to take on commissions so that we can point interested customers in their direction… but for now, we are not able to provide this service.
How do I submit a design?
Please check out the instructions on our Art Instructions page
What if I don't want to crop my image and just have it all squished to fit onto the mat?
We can scale your image out of proportion for you. Just upload your image and in the special instructions box make sure to state that you want us to ignore the cropped image and instead skew the image to fit the product ratio.
What resolution do you print at?
We recommend submitting your image at 150 PPI. While we frequently receive and print images at 72 and 96 PPI, and make them look magnificent, we strongly recommend submitting at 150 PPI. We are happy to accept images up to 300 PPI!

What type of printing process do you use?
Advantages of dye-sublimation over other methods of textile printing:
- Images are permanent and do not peel or fade.
- Dye does not build up on the fabric.
- Colors can be extraordinarily brilliant due to the bonding of the dye to the transparent fibers of the synthetic fabric.
- Truly continuous tones can be achieved that are equivalent to photographs, without the use special techniques such as half-screen printing.
- The image can be printed all over the entire item, with no difficulty in printing all the way to the edges.
Do you sell trading cards?
Yes!
However, any order with a mismatched billing and shipping address will be automatically canceled in an effort to prevent fraudulent orders. If you have any questions about a current order please contact us directly at support@inkedgaming.com.
Is it possible to clean my playmat and/or mouse pad?
Will my mat be the exact size listed on the website?
Because mats are rubber and cloth placed under high temperature and pressure, the final size may vary by a small amount (1.5%).
What currency are products listed in?
All of our products are listed in USD which is presented with "$." For those of you in Canada and Australia this will cause a difference in what you are charged from what is shown at checkout.

Are you hiring?
We are often hiring. You can view and apply to any of our current open positions on our Careers Page.
Playmats Questions
- How thick are your playmats? Our standard playmats are about 1/16" thick. They roll up easily and lay flat on the table when in use.
- What is the difference between a regular and oversize playmat? The oversize playmat is 4" wider (28” wide) than a regular size playmat of 24” wide x 14” high. This additional width gives some extra play space which really helps for those who play Commander or other games. Other than the 4 extra inches the mats are the same.
- How do playmats get shipped to me? They are rolled and shipped in a tube. We never fold our mats for shipment.
- Can you do more custom sized mats? Sorry! The sizes we have listed are the sizes we can make. If you have a middle-sized image you can have it printed onto a larger mat and then trim it down the mat once it arrives.
