Color Matching Cabinet Spectrum – I (ASIA)

Do you want to deliver the products without any color deformations? If yes, then we suggest you go with a Presto color matching cabinet. This is one of the best testing instruments designed to test the color consistency and quality of the products. It is designed for the visual evaluation of color differences under standardized and controlled lighting conditions. Spectrum Asia model of this testing instrument will provide a standardized and controlled environment for the visual assessment of colors. Color-matching cabinets will show the true colors of the product and help to improve its consistency.

We all know that colors will look different in different lighting conditions. When you make use of a color matching cabinet, then you can easily detect the change in the color consistency of the product. Thus, this testing instrument works best for matching colors under a light source with spectral power distribution.

Those who are working in the textile industry, bottle manufacturing industry, or any other related industries, should make the use of this testing instrument for determining color consistency and quality in their products. You can easily perform a visual evaluation of color differences under standardized and controlled lighting conditions with the help of this testing instrument. This testing instrument will make sure that your product will look uniform under different lighting conditions. With its wide-area view, you will be able to get a clear display of results. It has individual touch feature buttons that will make it easy for the customers to use this product. The biggest advantage you will get with the use of this testing instrument is that you will get accurate testing results every time you test the specimen.

This quality control testing instrument will help to keep your products uniform. It allows the user to evaluate Color Samples under different Light Sources:

1. Artificial Daylight (D-65)
2. Cool White Light (CWF)
3. Tungsten Filament Light (Domestic Light Matching)
4. Ultra Violet Black Light (White & Fluorescent Dyes)
5. TL-84 Light -Troposphere fluorescent Light (Point of Sale)

The use of Multiple Light Sources is the only way to detect Metamerism, a phenomenon where samples appear to be matchless under one light source but are distinctly different under another. Color matching cabinets are a universally preferred choice for faster, closer, and accurate color matching. This testing instrument is highly recommended for yarn, plant, garment manufacturers, fabric dyeing manufacturers, and exporters.

The color matching cabinet is one of the most effective testing equipment that will help you to assess the colors of products in different lights. Thus with the help of this testing instrument, you will be able to assess a variety of colors under different light sources. This highly accurate testing tool has been made up by keeping all the industrial standards in mind. If you want to know about the working of this testing instrument, then we suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Place the material at the bottom of a viewing booth at the distance from the illuminator required to obtain the specific luminance. The specimen should be viewed at a distance of 450 to 600mm (18” to 24”).
2. When viewing a glossy surface, it is necessary to avoid seeing the light source secularly reflected by the surface. This may be accomplished by illuminating along the normal to the surface and viewing at 45° C to the normal or illuminating at 45°.
3. The INCA Light consists of four incandescent bulbs. Assessment should be done under filament lighting to ensure that the two samples are still matching. It is this light under which Metamerism is detected (Metamerism–when samples appear to be the same under one light source and become altogether different in another light). If the match is satisfactory, proceed on to the next light.
4. The U.V. Light switch should now be put ON to enable tests to be carried out under ultra–violet light. With the widespread use of fluorescent dyes and brighteners, it is necessary to ascertain if both samples react equally to ultra–violet radiation. It is often found particularly in the case of white samples. The U.V.B. light clearly indicates the presence of fluorescent dyes and bleaches.
5. A final test under TL-84 Triphosphor Fluorescent lamp is carried to ascertain if the colors are acceptable at the ‘Point of Sale’.
6. If the matching of both the samples holds well under all the lights. It means that the Dyeing, Printing, and coloring of the sample are as per the requirement.

In this way, you can successfully conduct the color matching tests in this testing cabinet.
