Which defects matter on a wine label printed on textured paper

On a wine label printed on textured paper, what matters is whether the wine name and the smallest legal text are complete, and the barcode. The paper texture itself looks like dirt.

On a wine label printed on textured paper, what matters is whether the wine name and the smallest legal text are complete, and the barcode. The paper texture itself looks like dirt. Do not use the sensitivity of a smooth paper. Stop for a missing stroke in the text. Loosen the texture to the signed sample.

Why it is judged this way

A rough sheet shows high and low shadows in the camera. If the sensitivity is high, every sheet is a defect. First let the signed sample teach the normal texture, then look for a broken stroke. A missing stroke in the wine name is much more serious than one paper speck in a solid.

What to compare

What you see What to call it What not to do
A missing stroke in the wine name or in required legal text Stop Call it paper texture
Texture that matches the signed sample Do not alarm Switch in the threshold from smooth paper
The barcode is broken by the texture Stop Pass it because the paper is special

At job change or when a roll is opened

  1. Rebuild the template from the signed sample of this lot of paper.
  2. Confirm the texture no longer alarms in a run.
  3. Use a sample with a missing stroke in the wine name and confirm the alarm.
