Digital colour technology has long been available for use by the global supply chain in the textile industry. However, it has yet to achieve total appearance reproduction including both colour and texture. A new computer system named LED Simulator was developed to achieve this. It reduces the design cycle from months to weeks. At the same time, it assures a high degree of colour reproduction accuracy between different systems. It applies the concept of virtual samples to textured substrates by illuminating an undyed substrate with coloured light. It exhibits a larger colour gamut than conventional monitors. This results in a truthful representation of the final product.
