CCPL India, in partnership with X-Rite Pantone, successfully hosted an in-depth seminar on “Digital Colour Matching in the Textile Industry: Standards and Solutions” in Bhilwara, a hub of India’s textile production. The event brought together key stakeholders from the dyeing, printing, and textile manufacturing sectors to address one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: achieving accurate and consistent color across materials, processes, and batches.
In today’s competitive market, color mismatches can lead to costly rework, rejections, and brand inconsistencies. The seminar emphasized the urgent need for digital color control in textile dyeing and printing, highlighting how advanced technology can transform traditional workflows.
At CCPL India, we proudly represent X-Rite Pantone, the global leader in color measurement, matching, and automation solutions, to help Indian manufacturers achieve precise, repeatable, and efficient color control in both dyeing and printing applications.
Why is Color Consistency Critical in Dyeing & Printing?
Inconsistent color results can arise from:
• Fabric type differences (cotton, polyester, blends).
• Dye lot variations leading to shifts in shade.
• Printing inconsistencies across batches and substrates.
• Lighting conditions affecting perceived color.
Traditional visual color matching is subjective and unreliable. X-Rite Pantone’s advanced digital color management solutions eliminate this uncertainty, ensuring that every batch meets precise color standards, whether dyed or printed.
