How to tell a void apart on a food web
On a food web, tell a void apart like this: a hickey has an ink ring or a black center, and a void does not. Until you can tell them apart, do not adjust the press for the wrong cause. It is a clean-edged white spot, with paper or film in the middle.

Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
It is a clean-edged white spot, with paper or film in the middle. If you treat it as another defect, you skip this step: check ink laydown and pressure of this colour first, and do not add ink first. On a food web the ingredient list and the heat-seal area decide whether it ships. They do not decide what it is called.
How to tell them apart
| What you see | Closer to | How you separate them |
|---|---|---|
| A clean-edged white spot, with paper or film in the middle. | A void | Naming it from one white spot |
| A hickey has an ink ring or a black center. A void does not. | Handle it as that other defect | Using the same adjustment |
| The spot sits on the ingredient list or the heat-seal area | Hold this area first | Ignoring the position just to name it |
Confirm it on the spot
- Look by eye or with a loupe: a clean-edged white spot, paper or film in the middle.
- Rule it out: a hickey has an ink ring or a black center, and a void does not.
- Check ink laydown and pressure of this colour first. Do not add ink first.
