What to move first when misregister shows on a textured wine label
When misregister shows on a textured wine label, use the numbers on the register cross. Do not estimate from the fine type in the artwork. Change only this one thing, then look again in the same place.

Move one thing first
Stop if it is past the tolerance written on this job. If nothing is written, do not invent a number on the spot. On a textured wine label, if it has already hit the wine name or the smallest legal text, stop first and then adjust. Do not try it while you keep printing. With bleed, the cross is aligned. The colour boundary is bleeding.
Order
| Do this first | Do not yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Use the numbers on the register cross. Do not estimate from the fine type in the artwork. | 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 wine name or the smallest legal text | Keep running while you try | Scrap keeps moving |
| Write down each colour's offset and the unit. | Only say you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
- Use the numbers on the register cross. Do not estimate from the fine type in the artwork.
- In the same place, confirm whether the misregister has eased.
- Write down each colour's offset and the unit.
