11 Color Quality Control Protocols for Dry Erase Markers
Color quality control is crucial in every art product, including dry erase markers. Here at Kaywin Pen, we make sure every marker that comes out of our factory is of high quality.
In this post, we share some protocols and best practices we follow to maintain the best color quality and ensure customer satisfaction.
Spectrophotometer Testing
We’ve invested in reliable spectrophotometers to accurately measure and quantify color. This ensures you get the same color you see. We also regularly test samples from production batches using spectrophotometers to ensure they meet the established color standards.
Colorimeter Calibration
We calibrate colorimeters regularly to maintain accuracy in color measurement. This ensures that the calibration process is standardized and documented.
We understand customers can’t test the pens before purchasing, so we also make sure the color of the ink closely matches the cap of the marker because that’s what they usually rely on.
Lighting Conditions
The production area of our factories has consistent lighting conditions. Inconsistent lighting can affect color perception, so it’s essential to have uniform and stable lighting throughout the facility.
Batch Testing
We implement a batch testing protocol where a representative sample from each production batch is tested for color accuracy. If a batch deviates from the approved color standards, we investigate and address the issue immediately.
Quality Control Checks
We integrate color quality control checks into the overall quality assurance process. We conduct random color checks during production to identify and address issues promptly.
Color Tolerance Levels
Having slight color variations during production is normal. We have defined acceptable color tolerance levels to account for these variations. We have also established clear guidelines on an acceptable color deviation.
Standardized Color Samples
At Kaywin Pen, we’ve developed a set of standardized color samples that represent the desired colors for your dry erase markers. We use these samples as a reference for production, ensuring that the markers consistently match the approved colors.
Documentation and Record-Keeping
We maintain detailed records of color standards, measurements, and any adjustments made during production. This documentation helps trace and identify issues, as well as track improvements over time.
Employee Training
All our production staff are trained on the importance of color quality and how to use color measurement tools effectively. We regularly update them on any changes in color standards or protocols.
Supplier Quality Assurance
We work closely with pigment and material suppliers to ensure the consistency of raw materials. We’ve also established quality control protocols for incoming raw materials to prevent color variations.
Customer Feedback Loop
We have an established set of feedback loops with customers to address any concerns related to color quality. We use this feedback to improve color quality control protocols continuously.
Dry Erase Markers That Exceed Expectations
By implementing these color quality control protocols, we ensure that only the best dry erase markers come out of our factories. Our clients can be assured of the consistency and reliability of the color in all the dry erase markers they buy from us.
