Jaypak colour matching system
Made for the colourist by colour experts
The Jaypak colour matching system is one of the most
user friendly and versatile colour matching systems in the world today. The
company, Jay Instruments & Systems (JISL), is part of the Jaysynth group,
a premier manufacturer of textile dyes and pigments in India. JISL has a team
of dyeing and printing experts who have had wide experience in application of
dyestuffs to textiles.
Features
Fast, accurate colour matching and retrieval
The
Jaypak system will rapidly generate formulations to match a desired shade using
1 to 5 colourants. It is quite normal for a dyehouse to realise at least 20
per cent savings over traditional, manual matching methods. Most colour matching
systems rely heavily on the users ability to create highly accurate dyeings
for creating a database of dyes. However, Jaypak goes much further by assisting
the user every step of the way in ensuring that the data bank created is as
accurate as possible. For example, upto 4 dyeings of every concentration can
be used and the system intelligently guides the user in rejecting
a wrong dyeing. For the perfectionist user, upto 15 levels of dyeings can be
entered for every dye. At the same time, Jaypak is also intelligent enough to
generate good matchings even with flawed data with the help of automatic smoothing
or monotone correction of the K/S data.
In fact, Jaypak can generate a useful match even if
only 2 levels of dyeings are available.
The matching/formulation software can also be used
to generate good results even when the substrate or process used is not the
same as the substrate or processes used for the creation of the data bank with
the help of substrate or process affinity factors. The formulations generated
can be stored in a databank for quick retrieval in the future with a number
of different options for searching the database.
Reformulation and batch correction
Sometimes initial matchings may not be exact due to
unpredictable interactions between colours, failure to maintain exact process
parameters, or variation in quality of substrate or base material. The reformulation
option corrects the recipe for such variations. The batch correction option
will suggest additions to a previously manufactured batch with known or unknown
components.
GenieMatch: advanced Artificial Intelligence concept for
accurate first match
The GenieMatch program may be optionally used to generate
more accurate matchings in the first round itself, thereby avoiding the need
for reformulation or shade correction. This program incorporates Artificial
Intelligence concepts which enables its to self learn with every dyeing.
It therefore uses this valuable information of successful past dyeings in combination
with the normal matching program to predict a GenieMatch recipe. This has proved
to be much more accurate than traditional programs. The GenieMatch program is
an expert system which incorporates the dyehouse managers knowledge into
the formulation process.
Dyestuff blending
This feature is useful to dye and pigment manufacturers.
It enables the user to calculate optimum mixing ratios of non-standard lots
required to make a standard lot, by utilising linear programming techniques.
Waste utilisation
Wasted or used dyes and print pastes can be easily
utilised with the help of the Jaypak system.
Interface with automatic colour dispensing system
JISL also offers a controlled weigh terminal system
(manual weighment) and automatic colour dispensing systems with which the Jaypak
system can interface. The recipes can be uploaded via serial link or on a floppy.
These systems serve to eliminate errors in weighment which is a common cause
for off-shade lots.
Accurate colour measurement and instrument interface
The Jaypak software supports the full range of Minolta
spectrophotometers from portables to bench top instruments. Minolta instruments
are world renowned for their high accuracy and reliability. All measurement
conditions offered by Minolta are automatically recorded with the data.
Easy pass/fail and elliptical tolerancing
Pass fail criteria can be set up and stored. They can
be circular, elliptical or rectilinear or other or a combination of the above.
Multiple data points are easily displayed on any pass fail graph with blink
facility to easily identify selected sample.
