Time is money in today’s fashion industry. Speed and efficiency are essential in translating creative ideas and the latest fashion trends into garments – often through a value adding chain spanning several continents. Major international players in the fashion industry have found that AVA’s software and support has hugely improved their workflow – from design through to fabric production – for both printed and woven designs.
Key features and advantages of the AVA software particularly valued by our customers within the fashion industry include dramatic reductions in lead times as a result of the increased productivity gained from our powerful specialized repeating, separation, colouring and digital print modules. The AVA software facilitates the fluent creation of designs in repeat in raster, vector or weave format and also allows easy import of Adobe files. An unlimited number of colourways can be quickly created and communicated for discussion and evaluation using picker wheels, mixing window, drag & drop from palette, a spectrophotometer or simply by experimenting with our random colourway generation feature.
The AVA software facilitates accurate hard (printed) and soft (monitor) proofing of designs incorporating Pantone, NCS, Lab colours or full spectral data for both analogue and digital bulk production. The software allows you to output to a wide variety of studio proofers on your chosen textile substrate and, crucially for businesses with international supply chains, facilitates accurate remote colour approval of both samples and final production. As a final step, digitally printed samples can be supplemented by colour accurate previews of your collections on realistic photographic models/ catwalk scenes suitable for use on websites or for other promotional purposes.
