Colour control laboratory: what to measure before production

A stronger laboratory decision shortens the path from a sample to stable production.

Colour samples and textile laboratory equipment

A laboratory is more than a place to approve a sample. It is where process risk and costly rework can be identified early.

Measure what you will control later

Alongside the colour value, record the substrate, light source, tolerance and sample preparation. This keeps results comparable across shifts and batches.

  • define measurement conditions and the reference standard
  • record tolerance with the technologist’s decision
  • connect the result to the recipe and batch number

Repeatability is a shared language

A well-described laboratory result makes collaboration easier between the lab, dyehouse, chemistry supplier and machine service team.
