School of Design Guest Lecture: A Colour Communication System for Textile Supply Chain Management

Digital colour technology has long been available for use by the global supply chain in the textile industry. However, it has yet to achieve total appearance reproduction including both colour and texture. A new computer system named LEDSimulator was developed to achieve this. It reduces the design cycle from months to weeks. At the same time, it assures a high degree of colour reproduction accuracy between different systems.
