The "Expert" Color Formulation Software For Dye Houses

 

 

 

 

Combining advanced Windows color matching software with precision measurement integrity, GretagMacbeth's Textile Color Formulation is an invaluable tool for textile colorists. It makes color matching, batch correction and color quality control faster, more accurate and more cost-effective than ever before.
  • Textile Color, with its intuitive graphic user interface, is easy to learn and use.
  • Unique "Expert Matching" improves your first time matches by using its intelligence to select known good recipes to produce a match.
  • Expert Matching lets you compensate for process variables to improve lab versus production dyeing (available in Professional version).
  • Textile Color caters to your unique process with its flexible .dbf file format. You can set up databases unique to the substrate (i.e. cotton, polyester, rayon, etc.).
  • Making substitutions is easy because ColorSwatch lets you utilize secondary substrates and/or processes while it automatically adjusts the recipe to account for these variables.
  • Textile Color's comprehensive dye loading ensures matching accuracy over the entire range of dyestuff concentrations.
  • Textile Color provides you with a variety of video simulations so that you can easily predict and evaluate color.
  • Textile Color can be user-customized to let multiple users with different experience levels utilize the system.

Typical solutions to color formulation challenges include:

Color-Eye® 7000A or Color-Eye 3100 and Textile Color can handle translucent, transparent or opaque substrates. Create your database with the high integrity of the Color-Eye 7000A to achieve superior results. Plus, when working with the effects of optical brighteners and fluorescent whitening agents, you can easily set the UV component to a level equal to that found in natural daylight. This means that the system sees the color the same way you do in daylight and in stores with windows.

The Color-Eye 2180 and Textile Color give you a sophisticated formulation system at an economical price. The Color-Eye 2180 is a compact, benchtop spectrophotometer that provides the color measurement accuracy you've come to expect from GretagMacbeth. A Color-Eye 2180 system is a perfect addition to an existing Color-Eye 7000A system since the measurement data of these two spectrophotometers is relatively close.
