Pointcarre And IMBU Technologies Announce A Strategic Alliance With The Integration Of Their Design And Colour Management Platforms
NEW YORK AUGUST , 2021 As part of the strategic alliance, Pointcarre and IMBU Technologies, Inc. (“IMBU”)have integrated their design and color management platforms creating the industry’s most advanced apparel and textile design tools.
This combination provides designers an efficient workflow and seamless bridge to bulk production.
Steve Greenberg, President of Pointcarre states “Pointcarre’s partnership with IMBU enables the combination of technologies creating a powerful textile design solution eliminating many of the long-standing challenges facing the design community.”
“With continued pressure to shorten collection lead times, establish a diversified supply chain that normalizes variation, achieve ESG goals, and ensure objectively verifiable color accuracy, it is imperative for brands and retailers to implement specialized design technology.” said Andrew Zaref, CEOof IMBU.
Anticipated Benefits for Brands, Retail and Textile Design Teams:
• The unique ability to create color in a cost-effective digital environment with the assurance that product can be produced in bulk repeatedly
• Allows objectively verifiable color matching (a non-metameric match) and consistency across globally distributed printing platforms without the need for physical approval of samples. Proprietary algorithms can consider numerous factors and allow for corrections so users can predict and match color between different output devices, dyestuffs and substrates.
• Saves time and energy wasted in the trial-and-error color matchingfor both the designer and producer.
• Efficiencies gained in both time and money. Sample locally and easily move to bulk production with access to a network of producers who can assure color consistency.

IMBU Technologies
Color is central to what drives the textile and garment industries, as it is necessary to coordinate color across a collection of products, across materials, across different color chemistries, across geographies, and the perfectly replicate color to fulfillrepeat orders.
The IMBU Color Management System provides fast and accurate color matching from design to sampling in the textile supply chain and can be extended to your method of bulk production (both digital and non-digital).
Our team of textile chemists, color physicists and software engineers developed new color physics, and automated color communication and formulation, by expanding theories of color reflectance to textile/garment manufacturing. From our research, we developed a suite of patented software.
