“…It was noted in 1989 that little quantitative data had been published on the accuracy of laboratory dyeing methods [58,61]. However, two earlier papers had criticised the reproducibility of laboratory dyeing on the evidence of colour differences between dyeings carried out simultaneously using a standard formula [62,63].…”

“…Many practical dyers apparently agreed with these conclusions, as traditionally their first action was to subtract 10–15% from the quantities given in the laboratory recipe before proceeding to bulk. This guaranteed at least one colour addition and removed any possibility of RFT dyeing [58].…”

The concept of right-first-time production has become an essential feature of textile processing to enable companies to remain competitive and profitable through the many benefits achieved by this concept, not least the major cost savings that are obtained. It is perhaps surprising that no formal research and development programme was ever undertaken to achieve right-first-time in practical dyeing processes. The successful evolution of the concept depended on work carried out over many years by a relatively small number of organisations. Many application research and development projects were carried out, mainly with the laboratory, pilot-plant and bulk-scale equipment of the major users and manufacturers of dyes and equipment, to elucidate the important factors in achieving this concept.

“…In fact, if the dyeing process is conducted under routine procedures, many factors in the dyeing process, such as water quality and temperature [3][4][5], can be seen as controlled. In this case, the quantitative relationship between the inputs and the outputs (i.e., the target color and the dye concentrations, respectively.)…”

Recent research advances on fabric dyeing have focused on modeling the relationship between dye concentrations and the final color on fabrics. The emerging techniques in related studies have great potential to evolve the traditional dyeing industry to manufacture much more smartly. Given that dyeing is a complex process regulated by many factors, one of the challenging problems in the aforementioned techniques is to maintain the modeling accuracy at acceptable level. Other than developing high-performance algorithms and model architectures, it is also important to include effective data pre-processing techniques in modeling. In this paper, we show that conducting log-transform to the industrial dyeing data can greatly improve the performance of industrial dyeing recipe models. Such observations are confirmed on modeling tasks using different formats of color as input and different types of loss function in the model training. These findings may provide useful implications for related studies for the dyeing industry.

Review of Progress in Coloration and Related Topics

Since the last review o f this subject, few major developments have taken place with laboratory dyeing equipment but incremental improvements have assisted in increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of such equipment. Laboratory automation, however, has become established at various levels of sophistication. This has greatly improved the limits of accuracy that can be imposed on the laboratory dyeing process with a resultant increase in accuracy and reproducibility. Whilst the above developments are reviewed, the opportunity has been taken to discuss state-of-the-art practices in laboratory dyeing.T M Thompson in 'Dyehouse Laboratory Practice' (Bradford: SDC. 1983).J Park and J Shore, Rev.
