What to adjust first when fine type bridges on a pharma label
When fine type bridges on a pharma label, reduce ink first. Do not raise pressure across the whole plate. Change only this one place. After the change, look again in the same spot. Neighbouring strokes join.

Move one thing first
Stop if the smallest type or a negative word joins. On a pharma label, if it already hits the batch number, the expiry date, or the barcode, stop before you adjust. Do not try it while the job runs. A filled-in screen thickens every stroke; bridging usually sits in the finest gap.
Order
| Do first | Do not yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Reduce ink first. Do not raise pressure across the whole plate. | 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 batch number, expiry date, or barcode | Try it while the job keeps running | Scrap will keep going |
| Note the type size and the ink level. | Only say that you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
- Reduce ink first. Do not raise pressure across the whole plate.
- In the same spot, check whether the bridging has eased.
- Note the type size and the ink level.
