Datacolor Offers Certification Program
Atlanta-based Datacolor has launched a universal color accreditation program aimed at standardizing process requirements and grading color performance levels for the apparel industry. The program is designed to improve quality color collaboration and provide retailers with a cost-effective, timely and trustworthy source for color assessment. It grades potential color performance levels based on annual assessments of a mill’s accreditation results and associated hardware, software, operators and working environment. The program also offers remote diagnostics and frequent reporting, improving visibility of system performance and color compliance throughout the year.
“This program provides the first universal color accreditation program that addresses the compliance and standardization challenges far more efficiently than individual onsite methods,” said Dan Randall, Datacolor’s director of international sales. “It’s a result of collaborative discussions with our retailer, brand, and supply chain customers who expressed a critical need to optimize coordination and communication between retailers and brands, streamline the process and significantly reduce time to market.”
The program is open to retailers and brands regardless if they use existing Datacolor products and services. For more information, e-mail certified@datacolor.com. —Robert McAllister
