Problems on and Measures to the Practical Use of Computerized Color Matching (CCM) System in a Dyeing House

Abstract

To use the CCM system in a dyeing house, a wide variety of dyeing conditions are more important than the color prediction logic for calculation of the color matching. This article deals with dyeing conditions required for the actual use of CCM system in a dyeing house.
This report consists of the following four parts: (1) Precision of a spectro-photometer, (2) Accuracy of dyeing operation, (3) How to cotrol dyeing factors, and (4) How to use CCM system. Two basic conditions are indispensable for the practical and effective CCM system. One is whether various characteristic conditions in a dyeing house are taken into consideration for the CCM software. And another is whether a dyeing house itself is well controlled and fully arranged for application of the CCM system.
