What to move first when dot gain shows on a food web
When dot gain shows on a food web, use the tone value on the control strip. Do not judge by how dark the screen looks. Change only this one thing, then look again at the same place.

Move one thing first
Stop if gain is past what this job agreed. If nothing was agreed, do not set a number yourself. If it has already hit the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode, stop first and then adjust. Do not trial it while printing. Slur stretches in one direction. Gain is all around.
Order
| Do this first | Do not | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Use tone value on the control strip. Do not judge by the screen. | Change ink, pressure, and speed together | Change three things and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode | Trial it while the job is still running | Waste keeps going |
| Note the strip position, the instrument, and the reading. | Only say that it was adjusted | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave a record
- Use tone value on the control strip. Do not judge by the screen.
