The textile industry is one of the booming industries in the world. Due to styles and fashions, customers are increasingly demanding high-quality textiles. This demand is exploding to a new level. Manufacturers are now competing a lot in building a strong customer base by offering high quality products to their customers. If a manufacturer does not provide customers with high-quality products, it is impossible to survive in the fierce market competition.
The significance of color in the textile industry
Color is the main factor that marks the quality of textiles. Manufacturers need to provide better quality products so that more and more customers are attracted to the products. In order to ensure that the color quality of the product is appropriate, the manufacturer needs to implement certain color measurement procedures to ensure that the product provides the appropriate color quality, and the manufacturer needs to use high-quality color Measurement Instruments and solutions that can ensure the color quality of the product.
The Emergence of Color in the Textile Industry
Products have a significant impact on the overall quality of the product. It seriously affects the purchasing behavior of customers. The color of the product is the main component that affects the appearance of the product. If the color quality is not good, the product will not look good either. Determine the color quality of the product under different lighting conditions. If the color of a product looks the same under different lights, it is good in terms of quality.
Metamerism - Primary Color Defect
The color of the product is greatly affected by metamerism. It is a phenomenon in which a product behaves differently under different lighting conditions and is considered a major quality defect in the quality of the product. To check or ensure that products look the same in all lighting conditions, manufacturers use high-quality color matching cabinets. These cabinets show real-life lighting conditions in the test lab and help manufacturers test the color quality of their products. These cabinets are widely used in different vertical production fields, such as painting and electroplating, automotive, food and beverage industry, textile industry and many more.
This testing instrument helps eliminate the problem of metamerism, but it also helps ensure that many products are made by the same company and have the same color consistency. Several lighting conditions are provided in a single machine to create artificial lighting conditions that replicate real and real lighting.
Color matching cabinet (standard light source light box) – for color measurement
Color matching cabinets designed and assembled by familiar manufacturers are widely used in different textile industries to match the colors of different products under different lighting conditions. These tools are used to completely eliminate metamerism. It helps manufacturers produce high-quality products with better color consistency. The test device comes in three different colors such as a US model, a European model, and an Asian model. Many light sources are equipped with different instruments, which helps to match the instruments with high repetition rate and better precision. These lights include D-65 Daylight, Cool White Fluorescent INCAA, Ultraviolet Black Light and Tungsten Fluorescent TL-84.
How to use a standard light source light box for testing?
For testing with a standard light box, test samples are placed under different lights, as these show the actual lighting conditions in various areas. In addition, the instrument features individual operating switches, allowing the user to operate each lamp individually. In this way, the user can study the color of a sample under a single light, or under multiple lights at a single point in time. In the color matching cabinet, a cumulative over time is also provided, helping the user to keep track of the actual time which was spent on samples to measure the color of the fabric and therefore used in different textile industries. Manufacturers can definitely provide customers with suitable and high-quality colors with better quality products.
Lamps for color measurement in Standard Light Boothes
D65 – This lamp is used to create artificial daylight in test labs to match the appearance of products under different lights.
TFL Lamps - Tungsten lamps use an off-white filament to produce high quality light with a high color temperature and emit a yellow glow.
CWF lamps - CWF refers to cool white fluorescent lamps that emit green energy and are mainly used in the United States to test the color consistency of samples.
UV Black Light – A UV black light is used to check the whiteness of textile samples.
TL 84 – The TL 84 is a tri-primary fluorescent lamp used to produce a reddish light during testing to test the quality of test samples.
Ultra Loom Light – this light is also used to create a reddish light, but with a lower color
INCAA light This light is used when yellow-red light is required to test samples.
