Some production problems cannot be fully understood through a phone call, video or classroom demonstration. When Brian Toney comes to your shop, the training takes place around your equipment, your employees, your workflow and the challenges affecting your production every day.
Kolormatrix onsite training is designed for established and growing print shops that want practical help improving consistency, reducing wasted time, strengthening operator skills and building a more dependable production process.
This is not a generic seminar delivered inside your building. Before the visit, we discuss your equipment, team, current workflow and primary concerns so the training can be built around the areas where your shop needs the most help.
A process can work perfectly in a classroom but break down under actual production conditions. Onsite training gives Brian an opportunity to observe how artwork, screens, inks, transfers, equipment, operators and environmental conditions work together inside your shop.
Onsite training may be a good investment if your shop is experiencing:
The objective is not simply to tell your team what to do. Brian helps operators understand why the process works, what may be causing a problem and how to make better production decisions after the training is over.
The one-day shop tune-up is designed for a focused evaluation of specific production problems, workflow concerns or operator-training needs. It is a strong option when your shop has already identified the area that needs attention and wants concentrated, hands-on guidance.
A one-day visit may focus on press setup, registration, screen-room workflow, curing, quality control, DTF workflow, maintenance procedures or another clearly defined production concern.

The three-day onsite workshop provides more time to evaluate the complete production process, work with multiple employees and move from diagnosis into hands-on training and process improvement.
This option is better suited for shops that need broader workflow development, team training, advanced screen-printing instruction, DTF production guidance or help addressing several connected production challenges.

Screen printing onsite training can follow your job from prepress through final quality control. The exact agenda depends on your goals, equipment and the experience level of your team.
Training may include:
Training can be structured around a specific problem or follow the entire process to identify where time, consistency or quality is being lost.
DTF production depends on more than the printer alone. Artwork preparation, ink flow, film, powder, curing, environmental conditions, heat-press application and maintenance all affect the finished transfer.
DTF onsite training may include:
Training is process-focused and customized to the equipment present in your shop. It does not replace manufacturer warranty work, factory-authorized repairs or specialized service that may be required for a particular machine.
Brian Toney brings more than 30 years of screen-printing, technical sales, production troubleshooting and hands-on education experience to every training program.
He has helped train printers ranging from new decorators to experienced production teams. Students have traveled from nearly 45 states, Canada, Austria and Trinidad to attend Kolormatrix training programs in Atlanta.
Brian’s approach is practical and production-driven. He teaches operators to understand the decisions behind consistent printing—not simply memorize settings that may stop working when the artwork, garment, equipment or shop environment changes.
Because Kolormatrix operates its own DTF production department and training center, the instruction is grounded in the realities of meeting deadlines, maintaining equipment, controlling quality and solving problems while work is waiting to be produced.
One of the greatest advantages of onsite training is the ability to involve the people who actually influence your production results.
Depending on the training plan, participants may include:
Training the team together can improve communication, establish shared production standards and reduce the number of problems being handled differently by each employee.
Onsite training works best when the shop is open about its current challenges and key employees are available to participate. The goal is not to stage a perfect demonstration—it is to work with the conditions your team actually faces.
Onsite training is scheduled in advance and is subject to instructor availability. Travel, lodging, meals, ground transportation and other related expenses vary according to the program and location.
Review the individual training product for its current terms. Kolormatrix will confirm the applicable travel arrangements and expenses before the visit is finalized.
Please do not purchase nonrefundable travel arrangements until the training dates have been confirmed by Kolormatrix.
Onsite training is intended for businesses ready to involve their team, evaluate their current process honestly and put improved procedures into practice.
If your shop needs general introductory education, attending a class at the Kolormatrix Atlanta Training Center may be the more economical choice. If the challenges are specific to your equipment, employees and production environment, onsite training may provide considerably greater value.
