Technology


On a client's first visit their name and address are entered into our database.
We assign each client a unique identifier, and the client is issued an ID card.
We then Scan their skin multiple times and record their colors.
Repeat clients, just enter client ID, as we already have their data.
SpectrophotometerA combination Spectrophotometer, Densitometry, and Reflectance
is used for scanning.

Our Scale of skin tones are based on three components
Component "A" for Albino skin color
Component "M" for Melanin for dark skin color
Component "F" is a fabric type compensation
Component "S" is a proprietary skin characterization pattern to add life to the garment

Target color=A+(X*M)+F+S
Where X sets the tone
A client anywhere in the world, who can not come in for scanning, can supply us with their skin color by the use of our "Scarf of Invisibility".

They compare their skin tone to the scarf and then read
the reference value off of the scarf.



Laser body scanning is an option for custom fit garments.
Our database can be accessed by other vendors for a fee or commission (with Client Permission)
ID card includes the EDI codes for the clients data.


We currently have four fabric and garment coloring processes in different stages of production and development.

Process 1, Dye Sublimation Direct to Fabric Printing

Fabric is printed with color and pattern
Pattern is cut out
Garment is assembled
Process 2, Dye Sublimation, Thermal Transfer to Garment

Client selects pre-made garment
Transfer is printed
Transfer is Thermally sublimated on to garment
Process 3, 3D Robotic Coloring

Client selects pre-made garment
Robot applies colorant to garment.
Colorant is cured
Process 4.

Development of additional coloring processes is continuing.
R&D is ongoing.
