Method for duplicating the dye of an original on a dye carrier

Claim 1

A METHOD FOR DUPLICATING A MASTER DYEING OBTAINED FROM AN ORIGINAL DYE MIXTURE ON A GIVEN DYE CARRIER MAMATERIAL, WHICH COMPRISES (1) DYEING SAMPLES OF SAID DYE CARRIER MATERIAL, EACH WITH ONE OF A DETERMINED NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PRIMARY-COLOR DYESTUFFS IN ONE OF A DETERMINED NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DYESTUFF CONCENTRATIONS, WHEREBY INDIVIDUAL SAMPLES OF EACH PRIMARY-COLOR DYESTUFF IN EACH DYESTUFF CONCENTRATION IS OBTAINED; (2) MEASURING AND PLOTTING AGAINST WAVELENGTH THE SPECTRAL RE-EMISSION VALUES OF EACH OF THESE SAMPLES; (3) MEASURING AND PLOTTING AGAINST WAVELENGTHS THE SPECTRAL EMISSION VALUES OF SAID MASTER DYEING; (4) PLOTTING AGAINST DYESTUFF CONCENTRATION THOSE REEMISSION VALUES TAKEN FROM THE CURVES OBTAINED BY (2) WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE WAVELENGTHS FOR WHICH THE RE-EMISSION RATIO OF EACH PRIMARY COLOR PROPORPORTIONATE TO THE REMAINING PRIMARY COLORS HAS A MINIMUM VALUE; (5) PREPARING A DYEBATH OF A MIXTURE OF ALL OF SAID PRIMARY-COLOR DYESTUFFS CONTAINING EACH DYESTUFF IN THAT CONCENTRATION WHICH CORRESPONDS IN THE CURVES OBTAINED UNDER (4) TO THE RE-EMISSION VALUE TAKEN FROM THE CURVE OBTAINED UNDER (3) FOR THE WAVELENGTH CORRESPONDING TO THE SAID RE-EMISSION MINIMUM RATIO OF THE RESPECTIVE PRIMARY COLOR, AND (6) DYEING GOODS OF THE SAID DYE CARRIER MATERIAL, THEREBY OBTAINING DYEINGS SUBSTANTIALLY DUPLICATING SAID MASTER DYEING.

Claim 2

A METHOD FOR DUPLICATING A MASTER DYEING OBTAINED FROM AN ORIGINAL DYE MIXTURE ON A GIVEN DYE CARRIER MAMATERIAL, WHICH COMPRISES (1) DYEING SAMPLES OF SAID DYE CARRIER MATERIAL, EACH WITH ONE OF A DETERMINED NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PRIMARY-COLOR DYESTUFFS IN ONE OF A DETERMINED NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DYESTUFF CONCENTRATIONS, WHEREBY INDIVIDUAL SAMPLES OF EACH PRIMARY-COLOR DYESTUFF IN EACH DYESTUFF CONCENTRATION IS OBTAINED; (2) MEASURING AND PLOTTING AGAINST WAVELENGTH THE SPECTRAL RE-EMISSION VALUES OF EACH OF THESE SAMPLES; (3) MEASURING AND PLOTTING AGAINST WAVELENGTHS THE SPECTRAL EMISSION VALUES OF SAID MASTER DYEING; (4) PLOTTING AGAINST DYESTUFF CONCENTRATION THOSE REEMISSION VALUES TAKEN FROM THE CURVES OBTAINED BY (2) WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE WAVELENGTHS FOR WHICH THE RE-EMISSION RATIO OF EACH PRIMARY COLOR PROPORPORTIONATE TO THE REMAINING PRIMARY COLORS HAS A MINIMUM VALUE; (5) PREPARING A DYEBATH OF A MIXTURE OF ALL OF SAID PRIMARY-COLOR DYESTUFFS CONTAINING EACH DYESTUFF IN THAT CONCENTRATION WHICH CORRESPONDS IN THE CURVES OBTAINED UNDER (4) TO THE RE-EMISSION VALUE TAKEN FROM THE CURVE OBTAINED UNDER (3) FOR THE WAVELENGTH CORRESPONDING TO THE SAID RE-EMISSION MINIMUM RATIO OF THE RESPECTIVE PRIMARY COLOR, AND (6) DYEING GOODS OF THE SAID DYE CARRIER MATERIAL, THEREBY OBTAINING DYEINGS SUBSTANTIALLY DUPLICATING SAID MASTER DYEING.
