A simple and feasible method of computer colour matching
involving fluorescent dyes was developed. An ordinary
abridged-spectroreflectometer with polychomatic illumination and a
simulated D65 xenon light source was employed for all measurements. In
addition to the normal K/S constants for non-fluorescent dyes and the
non-fluorescent portion of the fluorescent dye'.. constants responsible for
the fluorescent portion were necessary. Two sets of equations to relate
the total radiance factors of dyeings with a fluorescent dye and its
concentration were developed respectively for self and compound shades
where a non-fluorescent dye is admixed. Finding constants responsible
for the compound shades required a number of calibration mixture
dyeings. Negative K/S constants were found useful when the total
radiance factor was above that for the substrate but below one hundred.
Three computer programs? s were developed to deal with
calibration constants for self and compound shade and also for match
prediction. Optimization was used in all cases to minimize errors in
total radiance factors or colour differences. Half of the actual dyeingq
formulations from the predicted were visually passed by a panel of five
dyers. In this study, disperse dyes on polyester were used.
Moreover, a commercial matching package was studied using
non-fluorescent dyes. The dyeing system affected its accuracy. The
polyester/disperse dye system was better than the cotton/reactive dye
system. The sample size and luminancefactor of target colours; were also
studied. The accuracy was affected slightly by the latter but not the
former. / Staff-development Committee and the
