Dye Right
New York–based Cotton Inc. announced its support of HueMetrix’s “Right First Time” dyeing systems, which allow dyers to “better control their exhaustion processes to more effectively dye cotton products,” according to Don Bailey, Cotton Inc.’s vice president of textile research and implementation. HueMetrix will be using Cotton Inc.’s facilities and equipment in Cary, N.C., to fine-tune the technology before commercial rollout. The two companies said the “Right First Time” process will increase shade consistency and help lower the operation costs associated with dyeing cotton.
