What to adjust first when a ring hickey shows on a textured wine label
When a ring hickey shows on a textured wine label, stop and wipe the blanket or the plate. Do not raise the ink. Change only this one place. After the change, look again in the same spot.

Move one thing first
If it lands on type or a barcode, stop. A solid follows the spot chart. On a textured wine label, if it already hits the wine name or the smallest legal type, stop before you adjust. Do not try it while the job runs. A void is clean paper in the middle, with no dark centre.
Order
| Do first | Do not yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Stop and wipe the blanket or the plate. Do not raise the ink. | Change ink, pressure and speed together | Change three things at once and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the wine name or the smallest legal type | Try it while the job keeps running | Scrap will keep going |
| Note the colour unit where it showed and the approximate position around the cylinder. | Only say that you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
- Stop and wipe the blanket or the plate. Do not raise the ink.
- In the same spot, check whether the ring hickey has eased.
- Note the colour unit where it showed and the approximate position around the cylinder.
