Steven M. Talley, Vice President of Operations and David W. Fletcher, President & CEO American Color Technology, LLC

“American Color Technology is corporately committed to building long term business partnerships that provide world class product performance, technical service, product innovation and tangible economic value to all of our customers".

 

 

We employ highly experienced and trained ink technicians that know how to effectively manage in-plant ink manufacturing programs. With that said, we have the standard operating procedures in place to ensure a LEAN and efficient in-plant. The in-plant is capable of working off maximum amounts of press return inks while compiling and charting ink performance with reports on all product performance statistics.

We have developed the procedures that will put the right ink at the right press at the right time.  If reducing set times is something you are looking for, our quality controlled "press ready" ink will help you achieve those goals.

We have a proven Ink Work-Off program & philosophy that will keep your inventories lean and cost effective.

 

If your application involves solvent inks, we have experience with solvent recovery systems that will deliver a steady stream of clean solvent to your press that is almost cost free.

  Advanced Ink Management is a universal ink database that our techs use to store raw material information, formulations, batch data, and ink orders. This software is used at all of our locations making it a universal tool that our techs use.  We can generate many different types of reports based on this data which keeps our customers informed at a click of a button.

A key part of A.I.M. is it's ability to keep hundreds of formulas organized.  We can many different formulas for the same color but with a different anilxox, substrate, or system.

Our Ink In-Plant procedures are written to meet your plant specs.  If you have ISO or Lean requirements, we can assist in those areas by providing flowcharts of our procedures.

 

We believe strongly in forming partnerships through establishing and conducting regularly scheduled team meetings. These meetings include all areas of management personnel, as well as, press technicians. Product performance, ink training, ink handling procedures, & problem solving are just a few of the topics on our TEAM meeting agendas

American Color Technology understands how important it is to keep presses running.  To assist our customers with that goal, we provide targeted training in the flexographic areas of printing.  We believe this prevents mistakes at press while transforming machine operators into "printers".
