How to split picking on a pharmaceutical label from a lookalike
On a pharmaceutical label, split picking this way: a void is ink that never landed, and the sheet surface is still whole. Until you can tell them apart, do not adjust the press for the wrong cause. The solid edge lifts paper fiber and shows a white edge.

Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
The solid edge lifts paper fiber and shows a white edge. Call it something else and you skip this step: drop viscosity and pressure first. Do not add ink. The legal text and the barcode decide whether the label can go. They do not decide what you call it.
How to split them
| What you see | Closer to | How you split them |
|---|---|---|
| The solid edge lifts paper fiber and shows a white edge. | picking | Naming it off a single white spot |
| A void is ink that never landed. The sheet surface is still whole. | Treat it as that other defect | Using the same adjustment |
| It sits on the legal text and the barcode | 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: The solid edge lifts paper fiber and shows a white edge.
- Rule out: A void is ink that never landed. The sheet surface is still whole.
- Drop viscosity and pressure first. Do not add ink.
