This evaluation procedure describes
the use of the standard depth
scales for the determination of the dye
concentration required to produce dyeings
of visually equal depth for the purpose
of colorfastness evaluations. Colorants
may have different tinctorial
strengths whereby equal concentration
dyeings of them may differ markedly in
the resulting color depth and colorfastness
properties. Using concentrations of
colorants which will give visually equal
depths will provide a more comparable
evaluation.
