CCMS:
A computer color matching system is not a black box that magically produces the exact formula for a sample on demand. The accurate preparation of dye primaries and the careful evaluation of the stored data are essential if a color matching system is to be able to predict formulas with any consistency. As this is accomplished, significant reductions in the number of dyeings required to match new shades are made possible.
Spectrophotometer
Expensive
high precision
more versatile accurate color measurement suitable for complex color
History of CCMS
First in 1963, ICI, Dyestuff division established the Computer System for color match prediction in their lab, but it was for their customer only. Later in 1973, ICS (international color system), manufactured computer matching system commercially. The basic three things are important in CCMS: Color measurement Instrument (Spectrophotometers). Reflectance (R%) from a mixture of Dyes or Pigments applied in a specific way. Optical model of color vision to closeness of the color matching
Advantages of CCMS
Computer Color Matching System (CCMS) the following advantages in Textile Industry. Customers get the exact shade wanted with his knowledge of degree of metamerism. Customers often have a choice of 1020 formulation that will match color. By taking costing, availability of dyes, and auxiliaries into account, one can choose a best swatch. 3 to 300 times faster than manual color matching. Limited range of stock color needed.
Example :
Datacolour AutoLab
Dispensing systems dispense dye solutions, concentrated colourants, liquid pigments, pastes, mediums and thickeners. You can use AutoLab dispensing systems for textile exhaust and continuous dyeing, textile printing, floor covering, pigment industries and more.
Designed For: The Colour Laboratory where speed accuracy and repeatability are the primary focus.
