Articles of Interest

	The Application of Artificial Intelligence in Colorant Measurement Systems Artificial intelligence software can address a deeper level of color control than ever before. This deeper level of control encompasses everything from correcting color formulas with a master shader's efficiency to defining color tolerances according to the ways in which we really see color. Expert-based technology -- with its ability to take theoretical predictions and adjust them based on the "experience" of the system's knowledge base -- is designed to approximate a master shader's efficiency.
	Metals and Metal Compounds Used in Plastics This article puts forth the notion that the use of heavy metal pigments in plastic coloring may not be as dangerous as some of the regulations and restrictions on their use would have one believe.
