Choć budżet marek może nie uwzględniać barw, mogą one wpływać na wyniki finansowe na wiele różnych sposobów. Znajomość rzeczywistych kosztów barw może pomóc przyspieszyć wejście na rynek, zmniejszyć ilość odpadów i zaoszczędzić pieniądze. Barwa odgrywa dużą rolę w podejmowaniu decyzji zakupowych, jeśli weźmiemy pod uwagę, że wybór produktu z półki zajmuje kupującym tylko od 2 do 7 sekund. Chcąc się wyróżnić, marki muszą proponować ciekawe o...

Brands invest a great deal of time and resources when selecting a new color to represent their products. If the color doesn't match expectations after printing, runs are wasted, and everyone is left wondering where the color went wrong. Here's a typical scenario. A brand selects a season color for product packaging and communicates that color to the designer. The designer integrates the color into the design and hands it off to the premedia team to convert it into print-ready files. The files a...

Wpływ branży odzieżowej na środowisko wymknął się spod kontroli. Według organizacji National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) „zakłady włókiennicze odpowiadają za jedną piątą światowego zanieczyszczenia wód przemysłowych i wykorzystują do produkcji ubrań 20 000 substancji chemicznych, z których wiele jest rakotwórczych”.

Color measurement is used to specify, quantify, communicate, formulate, and verify color quality for color critical work. Because everyone perceives color differently, color measurement is more precise than visual evaluation.  How to Measure Color Wavelength To measure color, a color measurement device called a spectrophotometer shines light onto a sample and captures the amount of light that is transmitted or reflected in the 380 nm to 780 nm wavelength range, which is the wavelength rang...

COVID-19 zmusił wiele firm do ponownego przemyślenia sposobu, w jaki komunikują się, zatwierdzają i produkują barwy. Dla niektórych oznacza to próbę prowadzenia "biznesu jak zwykle" z odległej lokalizacji. Dla innych oznacza to znalezienie sposobów na zarządzanie barwą bez podróży. Tak czy inaczej, wiemy, że nasi klienci robią wszystko, co w ich mocy, aby utrzymać działalność, jednocześnie dbając o zdrowie i bezpieczeństwo swoich pracowników. Chcemy pom&oacut...

Recently we had the opportunity to sit down with Laura Guido-Clark, a consumer products designer of color, material, and texture. She has been dubbed an “Experience Consultant,” which reflects her interest and study of human reactions to the look and feel of new products.   Photo by Laura Flippen. We asked Guido-Clark to speak with us because we also appreciate the importance of color in our lives.   Q. What inspired you to pursue a career in color? A. When I wa...

G7® is a proof-to-print process control method that allows you to reliably and efficiently match the visual appearance of the output from multiple printing devices. It works by defining the gray balance and NPDC curves in conjunction with the traditional method of measuring tonal value increase (TVI/dot gain) for each color. G7 can be applied to any type of printing, regardless of the type of ink or printing method, including all types of digital, offset, flexo, gravure printing.   It&r...

Virtual reality has re-imagined the art of apparel and footwear design. 3D design programs like MODO, KeyShot, CLO, Browzwear, Optitex, and Lectra augment the creativity of color and material designers to virtually construct patterns and render realistic 3D garments.  This is exciting technology for brands that want to reduce waste for a greener footprint and accelerate design to keep up with fast fashion. However, designers are notoriously tactile. They need to touch, feel, and gain a...

With so many requests for innovative bases, transparency, and special effects, formulating color for paint, coating, and plastic applications can be a challenge. To keep up, formulation software needs to be innovative, too. We recently launched version 10 of our Color iMatch formulation software, and it is our smartest version yet. It allows you to select cost-reducing parameters, such as lowest cost or fewest colorants, and will determine the best formula for your application. It work...

Like geographic coordinates – longitude, latitude, and altitude – L*a*b* color values give us a way to locate and communicate colors. What’s the history of L*a*b*? In the 1940’s, Richard Hunter introduced a tri-stimulus model, Lab, which is scaled to achieve near uniform spacing of perceived color differences. While Hunter’s Lab was adopted as the de facto model for plotting absolute color coordinates and differences between colors, it was never formally accepted as...
