Edit request declined

Custom Ink gained new investors in early 2019 This claim is vague by not describing the investors.
At the time, its value was estimated at more than 500 million. The date of this valuation has not been mentioned.
Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For and Washingtonian's top 50 great places to work in Washington, DC By their very nature designations are subjective in that they represent a very specific point of view — the point of view of the individual or organization which determines who wins the designation and why. To counter this, a good practice is to limit the listing of designations to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.^[a] To add these claims, please provide the WikiLink of these designations.
