Archroma´s Color Atlas, the textile industry´s library of 5,760 engineered color standards, complies with leading eco-standards and ensures consistent color reproduction. Now integrated with “Vivid CLM´s” online color palette optimization and correction tools, designers can create and share accurate color palettes for injet printing. Enhancing sustainable printing

This can reduce the burden of pre-production color proofing and streamline the color management process to help deliver high-quality printed fabric and apparel in a fast and economical way. “Vivid CLM” was launched by Zydat in February 2024. It offers a unique and designer oriented solution to color matching with a proprietary algorithm that translates complex spectral data into a red-green-blue workflow and allows the user to print, scan and check the color, with automatic adjustments to improve accuracy. The solution´s palette storage system allows colorists to share palettes across the ecosystem. “Digital workflows and inkjet printing present an opportunity for designers and brands to embrace both their creative vision and their sustainability principles,” Chris Hipps, Global Head of Archroma Color Management, said. “Our partnership with ‘Vivid CLM’ reflects Archroma´s ‘Planet Conscious+’ commitment to innovation and partnership that supports a more sustainable textile ecosystem.” Matthew Forman, President of “Vivid CLM” by Zydat Inc., said: “Archroma and ‘Vivid CLM’ have come together to revolutionize color palette selection, creation and inkjet printing for fashion designers. By integrating the Archroma Color Atlas into the ‘Vivid CLM’ workflow, we are giving designers access to thousands of ready-made digital colors and enabling swift and seamless color matching for their particular inkjet printing system.” In addition to accessing all of the 5,760 colors in the Archroma Color Atlas portfolio as digital standards within “Vivid CLM”, users of the software may also choose to refer to Archroma´s physical color library in multiple formats. They can also tap into Archroma´s expertise around the world for technical support with sustainable coloration systems and achievability on alternate substrates.
