Abstract
Abstract A table 10 is provided on which are registered a number of sets of color signals 11 which are formed by the combination of sets of an RGB signal 12 to be supplied to a color display 16 to display the same color, a YMC(Bk) signal 13 to be supplied to a color printer 6 and a reflectivity signal 14 of a corresponding color. Computers 31 and 32 are provided for computing dye recipes, wherein the reflectivity signal 14 of a color displayed on the color display 15 is retrieved from the table 10 and a recipe of dye necessary for reproducing the same color as that displayed on a textile is computed and then outputted.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
In a color design simulating apparatus having a color display (5), a color printer (6), a storage apparatus (4) in which a number of sets of color signals (11) for displaying colors on these apparatus are registered and a processor (2) for processing said color signals, a textile color design simulating apparatus in which one set of color signal (11) corresponding to a certain color is formed of a signal group including an RGB signal (12) to be supplied to said color display (5), a YMC or YMC(Bk) signal (13) to be supplied to said color printer (6) and a reflectivity signal (14) of said corresponding color, said reflectivity signal (14) indicates a reflectivity of said corresponding color relative to light rays of a plurality of wavelengths in a visible light region, comprising: means (31) and (32) for computing dye recipes from said reflectivity signal; means for discriminating a color signal of color displayed on said color display (5) from other color signals; means for searching the color signal thus discriminated; means for supplying the reflectivity signal of said color signal detected by said search to said means for computing said dye recipes; and means for displaying computed results.

In a color design simulating apparatus having a color display (5), a color printer (6), a storage apparatus (4) in which a number of sets of color signals (11) for displaying colors on these apparatus are registered and a processor (12) for processing said color signals, a textile color design simulating apparatus in which one set of color signal (11) corresponding to a certain color is formed of a signal group including an RGB signal (12) to be supplied to said color display (5), a YMC or YMC(Bk) signal (13) to be supplied to said color printer (6) and a reflectivity signal (14) of said corresponding color and said reflectivity signal (14) indicates a reflectivity of said corresponding color relative to light rays of a plurality of wavelengths in a visible light region, comprising: means (31) and (32) for computing dye recipes from said reflectivity signal, wherein a reflectivity signal corresponding to a color signal of a color displayed on said color display (5) is read-out on the basis of a predetermined command and a dye recipe is computed by using said reflectivity signal and dye data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
179 words
In a method for mixing dyes in a textile color design utilizing a color design simulating apparatus having a color display (5), a color printer (6), a storage apparatus (4) in which a number of sets of color signals (11) for displaying colors on these apparatus are registered and a processor (12) for processing said color signal, comprising the steps of: registering a reflectivity signal (14) of a color displayed by said color signal in response to respective sets of color signals (11) including an RGB signal (12) to be supplied to said color display (5) and a YMC or YMCBk signal (13) to be supplied to said color printer (6); forming said reflectivity signal (14) by reflection data of corresponding colors relative to light rays of a plurality of wavelengths in a visible light region, whereby the reflectivity signal registered in response to a color signal of a color displayed on said color display (5) is read-out on the basis of a predetermined command; and computing a dye recipe by using said reflectivity signal and said dye data.
