Measuring Color Uniformity of Fabrics with Standard Light Box

The textile industry is growing at a faster rate owing to the increasing demand for fashion from customers. Nowadays, customers are more and more aware of the quality of products. Hence, they require high quality of products to keep their style and fashion. This drives manufacturers in the textile industry to produce good fabrics and textile products so that they can survive in this competitive world. Due to the increase in customer demand, manufacturers also need to pay close attention to mass production to meet the demands of the vast number of customers. But the general fact is that many threats are related to mass production. When the production process is done, keeping in mind mass production, there are many possibilities for quality defects.

If manufacturers were to offer this quality to their customers, it could seriously affect their business and their survival in the market would be questionable. Therefore, manufacturers need to produce good quality products and need to follow proper testing procedures to avoid quality defects. Proper quality testing procedures not only help to improve the quality of production, but also save a lot of time, resources and money and reduce scrap.

One of the prominent quality defects commonly found in textiles is metamerism. It is this phenomenon that causes products to appear different under different lighting conditions. This is a major quality defect that manufacturers usually face in non-ferrous products and needs to be corrected effectively. A good way to solve the problem of metamerism is to match the color consistency of the product under different lighting conditions to ensure that the product will be the same color when placed in various light sources when used.

To identify the problem of metamerism, a light box is a bench-top instrument that is equipped with multiple light sources so that the user can match the color consistency .
