Founder and President of Kolormatrix
Tanya Toney founded Kolormatrix in 2011 with a clear purpose: to build a company that helps printers succeed through dependable products, practical education, honest guidance and genuine customer relationships.
As president of Kolormatrix, Tanya helps guide the company’s vision, customer experience and continued growth. She believes customers should be treated like family and that a long-term relationship is more valuable than a single sale.
The Woman Behind Kolormatrix
Tanya’s influence can be seen throughout Kolormatrix—from the products and services the company offers to the welcoming environment customers experience when they visit the Atlanta Training Center and DTF showroom.
She has helped Kolormatrix grow from a screen-printing supply company into a broader resource for professional decorators, offering screen-printing and DTF equipment, production supplies, custom services, technical support and hands-on education.
While technology and decoration methods continue to change, Tanya’s vision remains consistent: listen to customers, understand the challenges they face and help them find practical solutions that make their businesses stronger.
Helping Printers Build Better Businesses
Tanya understands that customers do not simply need products. They need reliable partners who will answer questions, share honest advice and remain available after a purchase.
Her approach has helped shape Kolormatrix around several important principles:
- Treat customers with honesty, patience and respect
- Recommend solutions based on a customer’s actual needs
- Build long-term relationships instead of chasing short-term sales
- Support printers through education and practical experience
- Stand behind the products and services Kolormatrix provides
- Create opportunities for new printers and established shops to grow
Faith, Family and Service
For Tanya, Kolormatrix is more than a business. It is an opportunity to serve others and build something meaningful with her family and team.
Faith, gratitude and generosity influence the way Tanya approaches leadership and customer relationships. She believes success should be measured not only by sales, but also by the people a business helps, the relationships it builds and the positive difference it makes in the lives of others.
That commitment is reflected in Kolormatrix’s emphasis on education, personal support and sharing knowledge that can help independent printers build more confident and sustainable businesses.
Supporting Women in the Printing Industry
As the founder and president of a woman-owned company, Tanya understands the importance of encouraging women to develop technical skills, build businesses and take leadership roles within the printing and apparel-decoration industries.
Kolormatrix was proud to host its first all-women 3-Day Professional Screen Printing Class, with students traveling from as far away as Nebraska. The class provided hands-on experience throughout the screen-printing process—from preparing and exposing screens to registering and printing a production job.
Tanya believes that creating a welcoming place to learn can help more women gain the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed in print.
