X-Rite Showcases Color Measurement & Virtual Prototype Solutions for a Sustainable Textile Workflow

X-Rite Highlights Textile Color Measurement and Digital Material Twin Solutions at VTG

At VTG Textile and Garment Exhibition, X-Rite will demonstrate how brands, dye houses, and textile manufacturers can approve and produce color quickly with sustainable practices that reduce environmental impacts

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., August 1, 2024 – At VTG Textile and Garment Exhibition, September 25-28 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone, LLC will showcase how digital color workflows help brands and textile manufacturers create sustainable practices that reduce the impact on the environmental while improving color quality throughout dyeing, finishing, and assembly. Visit booth 302 to see the latest technology for color measurement, communication, formulation, prototyping, and quality control software.

Attendees will learn how X-Rite's connected digital workflow solutions accelerate color approval and production while reducing carbon footprints.

“By applying digital color management early in the process, apparel, soft good, and footwear brands can start textile production in days instead of weeks,” said Mr. Cuong Lam, Sales Manager Vietnam, X-Rite. “At VTG, attendees will learn how X-Rite solutions help brands and suppliers render realistic materials for new designs, securely communicate private brand colors, digitally formulate and evaluate color, and approve lab dips without shipping physical samples.”

X-Rite Color Experts will be available throughout the event to discuss digital color solutions for every stage of the design-to-textile production process. Attendees can learn about:

Textile Color Hub for Digital Color Communication and Approval – Share secure, digital color specification documents that include spectral data, tolerances, and illuminant requirements. Using Textile Color Hub, brands can set clear expectations to improve time to market and suppliers can digitally submit the closest lab dip for approval by the brand to eliminate shipping physical samples.

PantoneLIVE™ Private Library Manager for Color Specification – Measure and import spectral color definitions for custom colors. With Private Library Manager, brands can see the best achievable color production result of any Pantone, private, or custom color on different materials and share it within the supply chain to save time, expense, and subjectivity.

PANTORA™ for Virtual Prototyping – Create virtual prototypes and digital material twins. With PANTORA, brands can use spectral and imaging data to render original color and texture onto 3D models to expedite product development and reduce oversampling.

Color iMatch Software for Formulation – Remove subjectivity from dye formulation and increase color match rates by 50 percent. Using Color iMatch, suppliers can optimize initial color matches, reuse leftover materials, and reduce wasteful formulation attempts.

Spectrophotometers for Measurement – Capture precise spectral data on a variety of textile materials, including patterns, textures, performance fabrics, accessories, and other hard-to-measure samples with tight inter-instrument agreement using the latest handheld and benchtop spectrophotometers. Combine with quality control software to confidently communicate, control, and analyze production color.

i1Pro 3 Plus for Digital Textile Printing – Calibrate and profile digital textile printers for accurate color. Ensure print quality on a wide variety of textile materials used by digital wide format and industrial printers for dye sublimation, direct-to-fabric, and roll-to-roll fabric.
