Color Delivery Providing Consistency
 

In this course we will discuss about the nature of color, how we perceive it and Steps we can take to create optimal conditions for visual color evaluation, also we will explore instrumental color evaluations and the benefits of different color matching formula and the advantages of each..

Another topic will be how statistics more specifically can control charting and SPC can be used to control consistency.

5 reasons to attend this online course:
Reason 1 Understand color perception and the factors that impact is consistency

Reason 2 How to make smarter choices in establishing a viewing environment and sample preparation for consistent color assessment

Reason 3 How to evaluate color performance beyond Pass/Fail metrics

Reason 4 How the use of statistical techniques can improve color consistency

Reason 5 How to evaluate tinting machines and how to manage an in-store tinting program for the most reliable and consistent performance.

Color is everywhere. It is an important aspect of our daily lives. The control of color varies in its precision from very little control to highly sophisticated systems. In an age where many objects are manufactured at separate locations and then assembled into a product elsewhere color control is critical.

Color delivery in the coatings industry has changed over the last 20 years. Paint colored in the factory once a staple of the paint store is now rare. Color is delivered on demand through automated color dispensers. This has brought new challenges to provide consistent color to the consumer.

WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS COURSE:

Attendees will come away with all the tools needed to make good decisions relative to color assessment and color management. This will lead to products that are of more consistent quality, better in appearance, and with lower manufacturing costs.
