Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
The next colour bites the previous colour and makes it coarse. If you treat it as another defect, you skip this step: check the drying of the previous colour and the solvent of the next, and do not only chase register. The brand colour decides whether it ships. It does not decide what it is called.
How to tell them apart
| What you see | Closer to | How you separate them |
|---|---|---|
| The next colour bites the previous colour and makes it coarse. | Solvent bite | Naming it from one white spot |
| Doubling is a second dot of the same colour. Bite sits where two colours meet. | Handle it as that other defect | Using the same adjustment |
| The spot sits on the brand colour | Hold this area first | Ignoring the position just to name it |
Confirm it on the spot
- Look by eye or with a loupe: the next colour bites the previous and makes it coarse.
- Rule it out: doubling is a second dot of the same colour, and bite sits where two colours meet.
- Check the drying of the previous colour and the solvent of the next. Do not only chase register.
