Colour accuracy in digitally-printed textiles: what you see is not (always) what you get
Journal Article
Collis, A. M., & Wilson, J. Colour accuracy in digitally-printed textiles: what you see is not (always) what you get. Journal of the International Colour Association, 9, 20-31

One problem faced when digitally printing textiles is ensuring that the colours of the final printed output are a satisfactory match to those of the design on a computer monitor or the original artwork. In other words, that there is a close enough ma... Read More about Colour accuracy in digitally-printed textiles: what you see is not (always) what you get.
