How to tell slur from a lookalike on a textured wine label
On a textured wine label, separate slur: dot gain grows all around the dot. It is not a tail in one direction. 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 dot stretches in one direction only. If you call it something else, you skip this step: ease the impression or look for slip first. Don't raise the screen ruling first. 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 dot stretches in one direction only. | slur | Name it from one white spot |
| Dot gain grows all around the dot. It is not a tail in one direction. | 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 dot stretches in one direction only.
- Rule out: dot gain grows all around the dot. It is not a tail in one direction.
- Ease the impression or look for slip first. Don't raise the screen ruling first.
