What to move first when banding shows on a cosmetics carton
When banding shows on a cosmetics carton, measure the spacing and match it to a roll or a gear. Do not change the formula first. Change only this one thing, then look again in the same place. Bands of dark and light run across the sheet or around the cylinder.

Move one thing first
Stop if the banding crosses the main image or a barcode. On a cosmetics carton, if it has already hit the brand mark or a brand-colour solid, stop first and then adjust. Do not try it while you keep printing. Mottling has no fixed spacing.
Order
| Do this first | Do not yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Measure the spacing and match it to a roll or a gear. Do not change the formula first. | 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 brand mark or a brand-colour solid | Keep running while you try | Scrap keeps moving |
| Write down the spacing and the colour unit. | Only say you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
- Measure the spacing and match it to a roll or a gear. Do not change the formula first.
- In the same place, confirm whether the banding has eased.
- Write down the spacing and the colour unit.
