Who we are

RJ Ink was built by a yearbook professional, Randy Jackson, who works directly with schools as a yearbook sales representative in partnership with Jostens.

After working as an adviser and alongside student staff for 12 years, one thing became clear: schools don’t just need a yearbook company—they need inspiration, guidance, and support throughout the entire process.

That’s where RJ Ink comes in.

Why RJ Ink Exists

Yearbooks matter.

They capture the moments students will look back on years from now—the culture, the personalities, the stories that defined a school year. It’s a history book. But too often, the process feels overwhelming, rushed, or uninspired.

RJ Ink exists to bring clarity, creativity, and confidence back into the yearbook room.

Our Philosophy

We believe the best yearbooks are built on:

Intentional Design
Every spread should have a purpose.

Real Storytelling
The best stories are already in your school—you just have to tell them.

Student Ownership
When students feel empowered, the work becomes meaningful. Yearbooks shouldn’t feel routine. They should feel personal.
