Textile Retailer

Standardised viewing conditions help you ensure that the garments you produce are as faithful a representation of the original design as possible, that the product or garments look as they should in store and that you avoid metamerism.

Textile Manufacturer

Standardised viewing conditions, often specified by your manufacturer, ensure that you can accurately produce garments as intended; cutting out costly re-runs and even loss of business. They ensure that the fabric you have chosen looks how it should under your client’s point of sale lighting and it does not suffer from metamerism.

Standardised lighting conditions ensure that the recipes you formulated or chose based on existing software and spectrophotometer data look as they should to the consumer. Your customers need the products to look as intended and for most of your clients; spectral data alone does not give them the same peace of mind as visually assessed samples or products.

Flexographic Printer

Standardised lighting helps flexographic printers working with brand or spot colours ensure they meet the high standards expected. In a growing and increasingly competitive market, ensuring that finished products are accurate representations of the original design can be achieved by using VeriVide’s specialist print and packaging range.

Quality Assurance

For quality assurance specialists, visual assessment is a vital part of ensuring high-quality products. Assessing not just colour, but how a product appears, whether there are visual inconsistencies is a vital part of many companies quality assurance. For food manufacturers, it is used to ensure consistency and quality of large volumes of products. For those working with composites, visual assessment is used to check for flaws. For both industries, the same is true; viewing a product can be the difference between product failure and the high-quality products their customers expect.

Technical Textiles

Technical Textiles manufacturers and end users use VeriVide Colour Assessment cabinets to highlight imperfections and colour issues. In industries where perfection is required by the client, such as synthetic leather for car seats, visual assessment is a vital part of ensuring that standards are upheld and customers are happy.

Lithographic Printer

At one of our larger Lithographic Print clients, VeriVide CCC’s are used to compare large print runs against proofs to ensure consistency of colour and quality. VeriVide CCC’s are also used in showrooms to aid client presentations and highlight capabilities to both build and retain business.
For a highly competitive industry that is constantly in search of any advantage, standardised assessment conditions allow for consistent replication of colour and colour branding. VeriVide Print products allow you to visually assess deviation of spot colours against colour standards as well as between proofs and samples from print runs.
