KEYS TO RELIABLE DIGITAL COLOR COMMUNICATION 'WHY DON'T MY NUMBERS MATCH YOURS?'

摘要

The challenge that we all face regardless of our business is how to get the right product to the customer at the right time. This is especially true in the apparel business, as consumer preference changes quickly and failure to have products that fit the current trend can mean more than just a short-term loss of business. The advent of digital color communication has proved to be a blessing in meeting this challenge in that the development cycle can be shortened, but it has also introduced challenges of its own. Failure to control the process by which the digital color data is created will lead to the exchange of incorrect information, misunderstanding about product quality, and delays in the development cycle. In order to have confidence in the quality of the digital color data being exchanged, the sources of variation in the measurement process must be identified and controlled.
