Highly Collaborative.
Metro Dyeing is a highly reliable fabric dyeing company that works on a partner level with customers.
Our team of colorists routinely work on large color palates using qtx. data to match at extremely strict tolerances, with additional attention to quadrant direction. Once all spectral measurements meet the customer’s requirements samples are sent to the customer for their comments.
We communicate measurements between teams until the exact matching criteria is uniformly approved by all teams.
How We Work
Step 1
Work is received and checked into our CRM online database that is accessed by all our teams. Metro Online is a robust web based software application developed exclusively for Metro Dyeing. Our cutting-edge software has scheduling and order processing functionality combined with notification functions to keep customers up to date as orders are processed.
Step 2
Almost all things begin in the laboratory. Review any qtx. data that is available for the color. If no qtx data is available for the desired color, the physical color standard will be measured using our Datacolor spectrophotometer to obtain qtx data. We perform preliminary tests on all new fabrics for the presence of DWR, optical brightener, and silicon softener to ensure fabrics are dyed exactly to meet your requirements.
Step 3
A recipe will be created using the spectrophotometer to predict the best combination of dyes that are the least metameric.
Step 4
Communicate the dye recipe to our dye team through our proprietary software and technology. Begin the coloring process using our spectrophotometer and launderometer’s. Depending on the fiber content and fabrication we will utilize our wide assortment of laboratory dyeing apparatus to dial in a precise color match meeting the strictest of color tolerances.
Step 5
Measure samples throughout the coloring process to ensure the color match is within the customer de. tolerance, and in the correct quadrants.
Step 6
Submit physical color strips to customer for comment.
Step 7
Once lab dips are approved the formula is passed to our dyeing team and the production dyeing takes place in the production dyeing department of our dye house. Each step is carefully monitored, always adhering to our strict standard operating procedures to ensure highly accurate and consistent results.
Step 8
Once colors are fully achieved they are sent to the drying department and reviewed for quality control. After the conditioning period has passed, If colors pass our strict quality control standards a notification is sent to the customer, the fabrics are packed and prepared for delivery or shipping.
Metro Dyeing embraces a unique company culture that was created by our people, we are a very tight knit team that live, dream, and think in color.
