Application of colorimeter in textile and garment industry

The colorimeter is widely used in the color management field of plastics, printing, paint and ink, textiles and clothing and other industries. According to the principle of Lab and Lch in CIE color space, the measurement shows the color difference △ E and △ Lab values of samples and tested samples.

Application of Colorimeter in textile and garment industry:
It can be said that in recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards, the change of consumption concept in the textile and clothing industry has become more and more strict. In today’s fast changing and competitive world market environment, the global textile and clothing production chain is facing the problem of color management and communication. It is a fast and effective method to solve this problem that color management system is composed of colorimeter and quality control software. Digital and intelligent color management scheme is more efficient, fast, accurate and flexible, which can help enterprises speed up color development, shorten product launch cycle, improve product quality and reduce costs.

The supply chain of the textile and clothing industry involves many links, from design, procurement, logistics to distribution, etc. Any failure in any link will affect the final effect, making it deviate from the standards originally proposed by the clothing designers and brand names. With the vigorous development of global economic integration, the global textile transnational procurement supply chain system, characterized by decentralized production and complex communication channels, makes enterprises in all links of the supply chain face higher challenges. This is also the reason why color detection equipment and systems such as colorimeter have been introduced in recent years. Today, fast trend following ability and efficient supply chain management have become the magic weapon in the market.
For the textile and clothing industry, color is an important attribute of its appearance and the first element of visual evaluation, and its impact on clothing is self-evident. Color is the first consideration for consumers when purchasing textile and clothing products. Moreover, color is a very important factor in the development of textile products. Using color design to create personalized and differentiated innovative products has become an effective commercial means.

The application, quality control and communication of color run through the whole textile and clothing supply chain. The traditional color approval mode is based on multiple exchanges of views, and its process is as follows:
1. Design stage: the textile designer makes the sample, whose color information comes from color cards, paper patterns, fabrics, etc., and then submits the sample to the purchasing department;
2. Procurement stage: the procurement department sends the color card or standard color sample to the fabric supplier or trader to confirm the required color;
3. Production stage: after receiving the standard sample, the supplier will immediately arrange the laboratory for color matching and proofing, and repeatedly compare with the standard sample, modify the formula, and then conduct proofing. When the color of the sample and the standard sample looks similar, the supplier will send the sample to the customer for color verification. Only after the sample is qualified, can the bulk production begin (the head cylinder sample needs to be confirmed first). If the sample does not meet the customer’s requirements, it is necessary to continue to repeat the process of color matching and proofing until the customer confirms.

The introduction of colorimeter is to digitize the original abstract color information. Color digitization refers to the identification of colors with chromaticity value data (L * a * b * C * h *, XYZ), which is the premise of color remote transmission. The intelligence of color refers to the use of electronic information technology for color recognition, color measurement and matching, and color data transmission, making color communication more convenient and accurate. It can be seen that the digital and intelligent application of color breaks the traditional interaction mode, makes rapid response possible, and meets the needs of today’s global textile and clothing supply chain.
