The cost of Computer Color Matching System is very prohibitive for small dye houses as return on investment takes a long time. Main components of any color systems are spectrophotometer, PC and color matching software. Preparation of database requires very good Laboratory facilities. Most of the dyeing units are not equipped with good laboratory facilities and color technology experts are not available to handle the color technology problems. Taking this into consideration, WRA developed a very simple solution for small dye houses. The main features of WRA color match services are:

·     INSTANT COLOR MATCHING

·     ANY TIME COLOR MATCHING ( 24 X 7 )

·     INTERNET BASED COLOR MATCH SERVICE

·     AFFORDABLE COLOR MATCH SERVICE

Dye House User will just require following two things:

1) They have to buy  a low cost hand-held spectrophotometer  for measuring target color.

2) They have to have Internet access to WRA website for getting instant formula for any target color.

System is very simple. Just Click a button on the portable color spectrophotometer, and input the reflectance data into a web-page. The custom formula is just another mouse click away.

It is Internet based technology and there is no software to install, updates to worry about, or hardware maintenance of instrument. WRA has created a huge database of all dyes used in dyeing.  Different substrates, different class of dyes and different dyeing processes are considered while preparing accurate database. WRA laboratory is equipped with latest dye dispensing system and dyeing machines. Calibration dyeing database is generated with utmost accuracy. Small Dye Houses will not be required to spend time and money on developing this huge work on database preparation.

Garment exports may be flat at $14 bn: AEPC

Garment exports may be flat at $14 bn: AEPC

NEW DELHI: The country's apparel exports are anticipated to be flat at $14 billion in the current fiscal due to slowdown in demand in the traditional markets like the US and Europe.

 A Sakthivel, Chairman, Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) stated, ''garment exports stood at about $14 billion in 2011—12. At the end of this fiscal, I think garment exports will arrive at the same figure as that of last year due to demand slowdown in western markets.''

For the ongoing fiscal, the government had fixed garment exports target at $18 billion. The US and Europe market together contribute 65 per cent of the country’s garment exports.  In April-December 2012-13, garment exports fell 8.5 per cent to over $9 billion. In 2011-12, apparel exports increased about 18 per cent year-on-year to nearly $14 billion.

In order to lower reliance on these traditional markets, exporters are marketing products by participating in trade exhibitions and holding road shows in new markets like Latin America and Russia.

Sakthivel expressed, ''the new markets have started working for us. Exporters have already started getting orders from Japan, Israel, South America and South Africa.''

 In order to encourage garment exports, AEPC has urged for a cut in customs duty reduction on synthetic fabric and adequate availability of credit at affordable rates.

Sakthivel also maintained that there is an urgent need to lower customs duty to 5 per cent on synthetic/blended fabric.
