How to split misting on a cosmetics carton from a lookalike
On a cosmetics carton, split misting this way: a pinhole sits inside a solid, misting sits in the blank and on the press frame. Until you can tell them apart, do not adjust the press for the wrong cause. Fine fog dots sit in the unprinted area, and also around the press.

Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
Fine fog dots in the unprinted area, and also around the press. Call it something else and you skip this step: drop speed and viscosity first. Do not wipe every sheet. The brand colour decides whether the carton can go. It does not decide what you call it.
How to split them
| What you see | Closer to | How you split them |
|---|---|---|
| Fine fog dots in the unprinted area, and also around the press. | misting | Naming it off a single white spot |
| A pinhole sits inside a solid. Misting sits in the blank and on the press frame. | Treat it as that other defect | Using the same adjustment |
| It sits on the brand colour | Hold this area first | Ignoring the position just to give it a name |
Confirm it on the spot
- Look, by eye or with a loupe: Fine fog dots in the unprinted area, and also around the press.
- Rule out: A pinhole sits inside a solid. Misting sits in the blank and on the press frame.
- Drop speed and viscosity first. Do not wipe every sheet.
