Why Color Inconsistency is a Deal-Breaker for B2B Buyers

Scenario

Color Variation Impact

Business Consequence

Unified Retail Renovation

Slight differences across batches

Brand inconsistency

Hotel Project Installations

Color temperature drift in murals

Downgrade or rejection

Designer-Specified Reorders

Reorder doesn't match original lot

Project delays, reputation damage

Why Traditional Wallpaper Factories Struggle with Color Consistency

1. Unstable Production Environment — Humidity, temperature, and ink variability impact results.

2. No Automated Calibration System — Manual visual matching is subjective and error-prone.

3. Poor Data Tracking — Print parameters, ICC profiles, and ink ratios are not systematically archived.
