Study on Optimum Primary Color Fiber and Their Color Gamut Space.

The color gamut space of color mixing for dyed cotton fiber was discussed. Cotton fibers were dyed with different dye dosage to obtain magenta, yellow and blue fibers. Their color characteristic value and spectral reflectance curve were tested. By comparing with magenta, yellow and cyan three-primary color ink of full point printing, the optimized magenta, yellow and cyan colored fibers were confirmed. Basic primary color fibers were taken with the optimized colored fibers. The color gamut space of mixed primary color fibers were studied. Then, it was compared with the color gamut space of mixed dyeing with primary color dyes and the color gamut space of primary color fibers used by enterprises. The results showed that certain color gamut space could be formed for both mixed primary color fibers after optimization and dying with the mixture of primary color dyes. However, they were both much smaller than the color gamut space formed with primary color ink. The color gamut space or the color generation of primary color fibers after optimization was smaller than that after dying with the mixture of primary color dyes. It is considered that the color gamut space of primary color fibers after optimization contains most of the color gamut space of primary color fibers used by enterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
