  Thouslite would like to say thank you to all visitors for taking the time to visit our booth at ITMA 2023 during June 8-14, 2023. It was our pleasure and honor to have you visited our booth and products. We had a successful exhibition because of your great support. At ITMA show, we presented LEDSimulator, an innovative product for communicating color and appearance throughout the textile supply chain, to show how it can reduce the amount of time required to both select new colors and replicate them during product development. Not only does it enable you to minimize the design cycle and cost, but it helps you speed up time-to-market and maximize your return on investment. Thouslite LEDSimulator Feature Highlights Explore millions of colors in the widest available gamut Match found objects to create digital specs Adjust color specifications based on the impact of surface texture Visualize color on any base cloth Input LCH, L*a*b*, and XYZ Import spectral data For more Thouslite products information please click here. With a goal of constantly improving ourselves and the quality of our work, any suggestions or comments that you may have are truly appreciated. If you need more information or enquiries…

It is our great pleasure to introduce LEDSimulator, an innovative product for communicating color and appearance throughout the textile supply chain. The system combines ColorWay, an intuitive color design software with LEDView, and LEDPanels to project precisely colored light on your undyed substrates. 

Color Inspiration at a Design-Driven Brand According to Yun Chen, choosing colors is like exploring a “lonely, uncharted wilderness.” [5] It is up to a designer’s talent and vision to select a collection of colors to represent the aesthetic of a design concept. Some designers see new colors clearly in their mind’s eye and need a way to document them. Others go exploring in stores, galleries. This textile series will share technical insights and wisdom of AATCC members. The "Second C" series will focus on color. If you wish to contribute your own technical insights on topics of interest to AATCC members, contact Communications Director, Maria Thiry; Technical Insight or anyplace likely to spark their imagination. They don’t know what they want, but they’ll “know it when they see it.” [6] In either case, color designers must rely on “found objects” to represent the colors that they want. This is no mean feat, since it is estimated that there are between 1.5 and 2 million distinguishable colors that can be represented on textiles. [7] Found objects fall into two classes: 1) color reference sets and 2) colors artifacts (also known as cuttings, swatches, etc.). [8] Color reference sets are large collections…

The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) is an industry advocacy group focusing on the effective application of color and functional finishes on textiles.  Textiles are used in many sectors including transportation, military/government, industrial, medical/ healthcare, sports/fitness, and fashion, thus the business and end-use requirements vary widely. As we see rapid changes in global business, AATCC “continues to evolve to meet the needs of those in  the ever-changing textile, apparel, and materials industries.” [1] The textile, apparel, and materials industries are huge. The global apparel retail market drives about US$1.8 trillion in revenue. [2] Textile mills and apparel factories create another US$1.9 trillion in global revenue. [3] And these numbers grow every year. The “Second C” in AATCC is for Colorists. This series of articles will deal with color in the apparel industry, focusing primarily on apparel brands, since that is where color specifications start. Additionally, we will see how practices emanating from brand color offices impact mills and garment factories. The Purpose of the Second C The Second C is a practical guide to assist colorists. The intention is not to present novel academic research or use big words. Rather, over the coming year, I will discuss…

Unlike traditional color communication methods, LEDSimulator offers a real-time, error-free total appearance color management system. It enables instant reproduction of colors, textures, and translucency, ensuring consistency, speed, and accuracy in color communication across the global supply chain between designers, brands, and manufacturers. This not only reduces communication costs significantly but also shortens the time-to-market for products. Through the LEDSimulator viewing window, designers, brand managers, and manufacturers can bypass time-consuming sample production and shipping. They can easily specify and verify fabrics’ color and texture in their full appearance, providing a seamless and efficient communication platform for color and texture matching. Since its launch, LEDSimulator has garnered considerable attention for its revolutionary color rendering technology. The video showcases a step-by-step demonstration of its basic operations, including: 1.Hardware Introduction 2.Software Operation 3.Color Matching Demonstration LEDSimulator empowers the textile industry with unparalleled accuracy and flexibility, fostering creativity while ensuring high-speed production and optimal communication throughout the supply chain.
