In the screen printing industry, color matching is the process where color swatches or samples are used to compare and match colors so that the product is precisely the right quality that the customer wants and needs. Here at ECI, we typically use the Pantone Color Matching System – a booklet of thousands of color chips that we use to standardize each customer’s products and equate them with their unique ink mixing formulas. Color matching takes training, discipline and an understanding of everything that makes color look the way it does. There are many different factors and variables that affect color in screen printing and must be taken into account when designing a new part.

This article is the third part in a series concerning variables that effect color matching.

In the screen printing industry, color matching is the process where color swatches or samples are used to compare and match colors so that the product is precisely the right quality that the customer wants and needs. Here at ECI, we typically use the Pantone Color Matching System – a booklet of hundreds of color chips that we use to standardize each customer’s products and equate them with their unique ink mixing formulas. Color matching takes training, discipline and an understanding of everything that makes color look the way it does. There are many different factors and variables that effect color in screen printing and must be taken into account when designing a new part.

Lean manufacturing is a method of improvement used in several manufacturing facilities in today’s age. It improves production processes in order to eliminate waste and increase the efficiency and productivity of the company. Waste comes in all kinds of forms – it is an activity that consumes time, resources, or space while not really adding any value to the product or service of the company. Lean manufacturing focuses on finding and improving better use of time, flow, and prevent overproduction, over processing and defects. This helps to improve the quality of a product which will meet or go above the customer’s expectations and requirements.

Finding the proper adhesive for your product will determine whether or not your product will last for years to come and be considered high quality. There are several things to take into consideration when trying to find what is considered the “proper adhesive” for your application and these things must be cross examined with one another in order to find what kind of materials you will need for the best results. However, in order to make an educated decision, you must understand the fundamentals of adhesion.

ECI takes pride in making you quality products and wishes nothing more than to maintain the quality of your products through years to come. Even the best of quality products can be damaged, though. This can come from all different sources such as the environment, elements, shipping, handling and application.

Although ECI designers are able to design from concept, artwork can be submitted for us to work with, modify or use for reference. We have received artwork from all kinds of file formats, but not all artwork files are created equal, and not all artwork files can be accepted.

Biological Sensors - or Biosensors - are analytical devices that detect an array of data that come from a biological source. It is made up of three components: a bio-recognition component, transducer, and an electronic system. There are several different kinds of biosensors, depending on the biological source.

Co-designing is a method in which a company's design team guides the customer in the designing process and encourages the customer to assist in the development of their product. The co-designing method provides customer a more in depth perspective of what goes on the process of making a product. It allows them a hands-on experience, involving them in the process of designing, which helps the company produce the right quality that the customer is looking for. a rapport is built between company and customer in the process which is handled by customer service representatives. These representatives must have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the technology used in producing the product in order to properly assist the customer's needs in an efficient and professional manner.

Industrial Design is always transitioning and changing. Technological updates precede the massive overflow of constant design changes to keep up to date with the upgrades. Trends, defined by specific characteristics in which changes are made in design, are a good place to start when looking into designing a project. Trends come and go, some more quickly than others, weeding out the poorly designed trends from the ones that could last lifetimes. They come from responses to the environment (sometimes literally) such as technology updates, customer needs, cultural changes, new mixtures of mediums or material and much more.

What is Design? Design, or specifically industrial design which is what we will be discussing, is a process of analyzing and evaluating used to optimize the function, value and many other aspects of a product for the benefit of the user, as well as the manufacturer. Design has several branches, but we will begin to scratch the surface in this introduction of a series of in depth articles on strong industrial design methods.

The Pantone Color Matching System or PMS is a common industry standard for color reproduction. It is regularly used in graphic design, publishing, and printing companies. Instead of asking for red, Pantone can give you the exact shade of red and allow you to communicate that red to others in a standardized, no-nonsense, uncomplicated, communicative way.

Choosing the right adhesive may be a daunting task if you don’t know where to begin. Just exploring all the options might seem overwhelming and time consuming, but ECI has your back as we explain the most important factors to take into consideration when choosing the right adhesive. We will work with you and find out all the information about your unique project so that we can find the right adhesive for you, taking out all of the time consuming searching.
