  At NuPrint Technologies we have considered product quality our hallmark. Recently we enlisted the assistance of an independent productivity consultant and added the position of Manufacturing Manager to help us take production to a new level of excellence.  Improved product flow, better turn around time, and a quality product is our winning combination! 
  Adam Kilgore, our new Manufacturing Manager, has led NuPrint in implementing a versatile production pull system with supportive production processes to move logical batch sizes in the right sequence through the operation to best meet delivery requirements.  Adam’s system eliminates the question of what product to work next.  Based on due date sensitivity, if it shows - it goes. 
  NuPrint and Adam’s next step was to direct our focus toward the common enemy of productivity: Variation—both process and executional variation.  By reducing the process and the executional variation at every step of the operation, NuPrint is significantly reducing rework, scrap, and shortening previously demonstrated lead times.  Step-by-step NuPrint is improving, validating, locking in the best methods, and tightening controls to reduce the band of noise (variation) at every step of the operation.  We have implemented additional employee training and improved documentation to standardize every step of our ongoing improvement cycle. 
  With rework percentages dropping significantly across the operation, NuPrint is constantly opening additional capacity. Our goal is to take quality and delivery to new heights as we continue the never-ending process of improvement.  Adam is leading us in aggressively undertaking the quotation listed at the bottom of our productivity advisor’s business card:  “Aligning today’s actions to meet tomorrow’s expectations” so that we may better meet our customers needs.

NuPrint Technologies has provided cartridge component recoating services to remanufacturers since 1992 and has now announced the introduction of its BlackMax coating system for remanufacturers to use in house for an even greater economic advantage. 

Reusing cartridge components is one of the ways remanufacturers control and reduce their costs.  Sending out mags for recoating has been a common practice among remanufacturers almost since the beginning of the cartridge remanufacturing industry.  According to Andrew Hoots, President of NuPrint Technologies, remanufacturers, by using the BlackMax system, can now achieve the same results at less cost.  “We have coated mags for our customers and have heard from them how much easier and cost effective it would be for them if they did not have to remove the magnets or ship the mag rollers somewhere to be coated” said Andrew, “NuPrint’s BlackMax system addresses both concerns”.

In addition to being time consuming, removing magnets from mag rollers can create problems if a remanufacturer reinserts the magnets incorrectly.  If the magnets are not correctly reinserted print performance problems can develop.  The BlackMax system is designed to coat mags with the magnets in place, which eliminates the problems associated with improperly reinserting the magnets and further reduces the time and costs associated with reprocessing mag rollers.  

NuPrint Technologies’ BlackMax process fully strips the used mag roller sleeve to the bare metal, retextures the sleeve and applies a new conductive coating to the original metal sleeve.  According to Andrew “Our testing, and feedback from customers, has consistently shown that our process of stripping off  the old coating and retexturing the sleeve provides superior and more consistent performance to processes that recoat over the old coating.”
