How to tell dry-back from a lookalike on a textured wine label
On a textured wine label, separate dry-back: a color shift during the run changes on the press, not only after it dries. Until you can tell them apart, don't adjust the press for the wrong cause.

Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
The color just printed and the color after dry are not the same. After dry it is usually darker or duller. If you call it something else, you skip this step: measure again after it is dry. Don't treat the wet reading as the final color. On a textured wine label, the wine name and the fine type decide whether you pass it. They do not decide what you call it.
How to separate them
| What you see | Closer to | How you separate |
|---|---|---|
| The color just printed and the color after dry are not the same. After dry it is usually darker or duller. | dry-back | Name it from one white spot |
| A color shift during the run changes on the press, not only after it dries. | Treat it as that other defect | Use the same adjustment |
| It sits on the wine name and the fine type | Hold this spot first | Ignore the location just to name it |
Confirm on the spot
- Look with the eye or a loupe: the color just printed and the color after dry are not the same. After dry it is usually darker or duller.
- Rule out: a color shift during the run changes on the press, not only after it dries.
- Measure again after it is dry. Don't treat the wet reading as the final color.
