What to move first when bleed shows on a cosmetics carton
When bleed shows on a cosmetics carton, check viscosity and impression first. Do not only adjust register. Change only this one thing, then look again at the same place. Color runs past the edge, and the register marks still line up.

Move one thing first
If color bleeds into type or a barcode, stop. If it has already hit the brand mark or a brand-color solid, stop first and then adjust. Do not trial it while printing. Misregister is the marks themselves shifted.
Order
| Do this first | Do not | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Check viscosity and impression first. Do not only adjust register. | Change ink, pressure, and speed together | Change three things and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the brand mark or a brand-color solid | Trial it while the job is still running | Waste keeps going |
| Note which two colors, the viscosity, and the impression. | Only say that it was adjusted | The next shift cannot pick it up |
