When doubling shows on a pharma label, what do you move first
Check impression and the blanket first. Do not only turn the register. Change only one thing. Write down which colour and the blanket number.
When doubling shows on a pharma label, check impression and the blanket first. Do not only turn the register. Change only this one thing, then look again in the same place. There is a faint second dot beside the first.
Move one thing first
Stop if the second dot makes type look soft or drops the barcode grade. On a pharma label, if it already hits the lot number, the expiry, or the barcode, stop before you adjust. Do not try it while the press is running. Misregister is one colour shifted from another. Doubling is two dots of the same colour.
Order
| Do first | Not yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Check impression and the blanket first. Do not only turn the register. | Change ink, impression, and speed together | Change three things and you will not know which one worked |
| It already landed on the lot number, the expiry, or the barcode | Try it while production is running | Scrap keeps moving |
| Write down which colour and the blanket number. | Only say that you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
- Check impression and the blanket first. Do not only turn the register.
- In the same place, confirm whether the doubling has eased.
- Write down which colour and the blanket number.
