l Print & Packaging color matching

In printing and packaging, pecolor guarantees that inks and materials deliver uniform color reproduction, which is essential for maintaining brand integrity and achieving superior print quality across diverse substrates.

What are the Steps Involved in the PeColor Color Matching Process？

After the customer provides the gradient benchmark table or spectral color data of the target sample, the Pecolor system first performs preprocessing and feature extraction on the input data to complete the preliminary optical characteristic analysis of the sample. The extracted color feature parameters are mapped to the production sample database, and initial formula reference values are obtained through retrieval and matching. Subsequently, the system conducts actual measurement and calibration on the target sample to obtain its true chromaticity and spectral reflectance data. Based on this, a preliminary dye or pigment ratio scheme is calculated, and the automatic proofing process is initiated.

After the proofing is completed, the system measures and analyzes the obtained sample to determine whether the color difference between it and the target color converges within the set tolerance range. If the analysis fails, the closed-loop correction mechanism is initiated, and iterative calculations are performed for another proofing verification. If the analysis result passes the threshold test, the current formula is solidified as the final output. Finally, the system generates a complete formula report and returns it to the client terminal.

FAQ about Color Formulation Software–Pecolor In Manufacturing

l What is color formulation software?

Color formulation software is a sophisticated tool that plays a pivotal role in various industries, including textiles, plastics, paints, and cosmetics. This advanced technology is meticulously designed to precisely develop and manage dye and pigment recipes, ensuring that the desired color outcomes are consistently achieved. The software's capabilities extend far beyond mere color mixing; it is a comprehensive solution that streamlines the entire color development process.

l Why is Pecolor so critical for production?

In Pecolor, color serves as the core language that permeates throughout research and development as well as production, while formula management data serves as the foundational framework that supports this language. Pecolor automatically matches and delivers the most suitable and precise formula. This not only frees colorists from relying on repeated trial and error based on experience, but also ensures that every color adjustment has a basis and is traceable. Ultimately, high efficiency is reflected in every aspect, with reduced proofing times, minimized raw material waste, and stable and controllable color differences across multiple batches. This allows colors to move from the laboratory to mass production, leveraging the dual advantages of precision and speed.

l What do I need to prepare before color matching？

The color matching system requires the following tools：

Spectrophotometer, Color matching software, Office computer,Automatic color mixer, Sample gradient plate.

l Which spectrophotometers is Pecolor suitable for？

The combination of spectrophotometer and color matching software (PeColor); Easy color matching. At present, the color difference meter models that 3NH can support are :TS7700 series, ST-700d series, MS3012 series, PS2040 series, TS7010 series, TS8500 series, YS6060 series, YS4560 series, YS3060 series, CR color difference treasure series.

l What are the pain points in the color matching industry？

Low efficiency

Production waste

Inconvenient to record

Quality control difficulty

Large chromatic aberration

High wages

l Can visual inspection replace color formulation software？

Visual inspection is highly subjective, greatly influenced by the environment, and cannot be quantified, thus exhibiting limitations.

Visual inspection is suitable for rapid preliminary screening, but quantitative measurement must be conducted using a color formulation software. Only by combining the two can reliable results be obtained.
