ADD-ON FOR JACQUARD TRUE COLORING
True Coloring is a tool for recoloring
and printing simulations.
The True Coloring module of NedGraphics has brought recoloring simu-
lations to a new level. Currently True Coloring supports simulations
made with the Product Creator simulations for Jacquard fabrics, tufted
carpet simulations made with the Tuft Enterprise module and the Texture
simulations made with Texcelle. Very soon you will be able to recolor your
Dobby designs with this module.

To give an even better user experience we have enhanced the True
Coloring module with the following features:                                  Example of Color book page with texture patches.

• To allow for time saving and to be able to compare simulations side
  by side True Coloring will now open only once and not open every
  design you want to see in a new and separate True Coloring window.

• When you are not working in a color calibrated environment the use
  of color books is the best way to get the right colors on your print out.
  With an additional print feature you can print color books or color
  ranges of the exact same structure you are using in your True
  Coloring simulation.

• Full integration with Reporting Enterprise.

• Integrated in Texture Simulation, Jacquard & Tuft.

WEAVEGATE FOR HOME DESIGN
Full control over your jacquard looms.
WeaveGate is NedGraphics’ solution to control and manage your electronic jacquard looms and link them with your design
archive. Track the status of your weave jobs, do effective version management, monitor loom efficiency, capture, store and
transfer loom parameters, add information to weave jobs, automatically rearrange harness layouts; WeaveGate provides you
with full control and minimizes errors, 24/7.




   WeaveGate can be fully integrated with NedGraphics’ Jacquard Pro and third party solutions.

   WeaveGate delivers production data to the right jacquard controllers at the right time. The system also allows loom operators
   to retrieve jobs from the server. When the loom operator modifies production information the adjusted pattern can be
   merged directly with the original.

   WeaveGate enables effective and consistent design management. Current designs can never be overwritten without prior
   notification. Amendments made on the loom controller can be stored directly in the original database. Corrections are
   automatically incorporated into the production data the next time it is sent over the network. E-mail notifications can be
   issued to timely anticipate production flaws or controller availability. WeaveGate can be integrated with any existing planning
   system.

   Titles, for example an article number or client name, can automatically be inserted before or after a weave job. This simplifies
   order tracking, expedition and prevents you from loosing track.


                                                                                                         HOME design 2010 | NedGraphics   29

WEAVEGATE CARD EDITING FOR HOME DESIGN
     Full control over your jacquard looms.
     One way of working with WeaveGate is to have a separate database with “just approved for production” cards. This means
     that the CAD department and the production department have each their own database. The production database contains
     only real cards (ncc) and not pdcs.

     This plugin allows you to open those “cards” from
     the WeaveGate Database and modify them if so
     desired. Tools at your disposal are inserting weaves,
     drawing lines, etc.

     Modifications can be changing selvedge weaves,
     selector changes, etc.

     This does not affect in any way what is happening
     on the CAD side. Production is responsible for the
     upkeep of their own database.

     Communication from the CAD department to the
     Production database is done via the WeaveGate
     Import module.

     The WeaveGate Card Editing tool can be used is
     Texcelle and TexFlash.

Easy Coloring Pro offers one of the most advanced color calibration engines available today. Because it is fully compatible with
Windows ICM/ICC color management, it ensures color fidelity from monitor, to printer, to final product. All of this is possible with
just a few hours of training.

The lastest version Easy Coloring Pro contains an intelligent expert coloration systems which allows to program automatic
coloration proposals based on color collections defined by the user. Therefore the Easy Coloring Pro can generate many colorways
using for example only the latest trend- or customer colors. Certain color (mostly black and white) can be reserved so not
automatic changes are carried out. Easy Coloring Pro can now also deal with with halftone and mixing colors if the separation
were carried out in Color Reduction and Cleaning Pro. And last but not least the print of simple or multiple colorways may now be
personalized in a professional way making Easy Coloring Pro almost a complete print layout editor. Easy Coloring Pro is therefore
to bring colorways and color ideas for almost any design to the salesfore and to the endcustomer. However, sometimes it may
be necessary to to simulate the future production with the highest fidelity (including such effects as mat white, reactive reserve
etc). In these cases we advise to complete or to replace Easy Coloring Pro with Simulated Printed Fabrics.

WeaveGate is NedGraphics’ solution to control and manage your electronic jacquard looms and link them with your design archive. Track the status of your weave jobs, do effective version management, monitor loom efficiency, capture, store and transfer loom parameters, add information to weave jobs, automatically rearrange harness layouts; WeaveGate provides you with full control and minimizes errors, 24/7. WeaveGate can be fully integrated with NedGraphics’ Jacquard Pro and third party solutions. WeaveGate delivers production data to the right jacquard controllers at the right time. The system also allows loom operators to retrieve jobs from the server. When the loom operator modifies production information the adjusted pattern can be merged directly with the original. WeaveGate enables effective and consistent design management. Current designs can never be overwritten without prior notification. Amendments made on the loom controller can be stored directly in the original database. Corrections are automatically incorporated into the production data the next time it is sent over the network. E-mail notifications can be issued to timely anticipate production flaws or controller availability. WeaveGate can be integrated with any existing planning system. Titles, for example an article number or client name, can automatically be inserted before or after a weave job. This simplifies order tracking, expedition and prevents you from loosing track.

  • 36. WEAVEGATE CARD EDITING FOR HOME DESIGN Full control over your jacquard looms. One way of working with WeaveGate is to have a separate database with “just approved for production” cards. This means that the CAD department and the production department have each their own database. The production database contains only real cards (ncc) and not pdcs. This plugin allows you to open those “cards” from the WeaveGate Database and modify them if so desired. Tools at your disposal are inserting weaves, drawing lines, etc. Modifications can be changing selvedge weaves, selector changes, etc. This does not affect in any way what is happening on the CAD side. Production is responsible for the upkeep of their own database. Communication from the CAD department to the Production database is done via the WeaveGate Import module. The WeaveGate Card Editing tool can be used is Texcelle and TexFlash. 36 HOME design 2010 | NedGraphics
