Color on Demand for Jacquard Fabrics Available to Purchase

Jacquard weaving provides the opportunity for designing an enormous number of complex pictorial and other patterning effects using combinations of warp colors, filling colors and integrated weaves. Traditionally, in the fabric design process, the resultant visual perception of the design using different colored yarns can be attained only through the production of actual fabric samples. This is a very time consuming and costly process. In Jacquard woven fabrics, the use of graphical imaging in the creation of the weave structure is very useful, but the accuracy of color rendering is a far more critical attribute. Multiple trials might be required for successful color reproduction in textiles in order to match the desired artwork. In this paper, the problem of achieving accurate color fidelity in the color reproduction of woven fabrics has been addressed, and our attempt to achieve the highest possible color matching accuracy in Jacquard woven fabrics is described. So far, we are quite successful in creating a database of color/weave structures for the quality color reproduction of Jacquard fabrics. Our research places emphasis on synthesizing computer generated color images that are perceptually close to the actual woven samples, with a high degree of color accuracy.
