Archroma and Pointcarre Collaborate to Bring More Color to the Textile Industry’s Digital Workflow
Archroma Textile Effects, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, is bringing its entire portfolio of 5,760 colors to enrich the Pointcarre digital textile design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system.
A market leader in Mac and PC textile design software for three decades, Pointcarre Textile Software enables fashion, home furnishing and technical textiles designers to create accurate digital samples, streamline the fabric weaving, knitting and printing processes, and produce realistic presentations of their collections.
Crucially, all of the Archroma color references can be formulated with dyes that meet leading international eco-standards and the brand customer’s desired sustainability profile.
“End-to-end agility is a massive competitive advantage in today’s textile value chain,” Chris Hipps, Global Head of Archroma Color Management, Archroma Textile Effects, said. “The Archroma Color Atlas was created to empower designers with color inspiration that can be seamlessly implemented in production for reproducible results. Bringing this library into the Pointcarre system will improve designers’ agility and advance sustainability at the same time.”
To support customers to optimize the potential of the new color library, Pointcarre is offering new interactive e-learning modules on its Academy training platform, as well as assistance in several languages.
Pointcarre systems are trusted by some of the world’s most iconic brands, from Ralph Lauren, Nautica and Centric Brands to Decathlon, Tommy Hilfiger, Sage Mills and Eddie Bauer.
