Working Of Color Matching Cabinet

The equipment provides a wide viewing area equipped with multiple light sources or lamps to detect the phenomenon of Metamerism, where samples appear to match under one light source but is distinctly different under another.

To reach the final approval the fabric has to go through various light sources which include: artificial daylight, cool white light, tungsten filament light, ultraviolet black light, tri-phosphor fluorescent light.

• The sample is monitored in the colored lights along with the original sample in the viewing cavity.
• After switching on the D-65 Light closely check the original specimen and the specimen to be tested.
• When the match is satisfactory, the specimen is to be tested under CWF Light and TFL Lamps.
• The sample is kept under U.V light, after which both samples react equally to Ultra Violet radiation.
• Then the final test is carried out under TL-84 Philips Triphosphor Fluorescent lamp tube light is carried to ascertain if the colors are acceptable for sale or not.
