When misting shows on a textured-paper wine label, what do you move first

When misting shows on a textured-paper wine label, drop speed and viscosity first. Do not wipe every label. Change only this one thing. Look again in the same place after you change it. Fine fog dots sit in the unprinted area, and also around the press.

Misting on a textured-paper wine label

Move one thing first

Stop if the mist lands on a barcode or on the product image. If it has already hit the wine name or the minimum legal text, stop first, then adjust. Do not try it while the press keeps running. A pinhole sits inside a solid. Misting sits in the blank and on the press frame.

Order

Do this first Do not do this first Why
Drop speed and viscosity first. Do not wipe every label. Change ink, pressure, and speed at the same time Change three things at once and you will not know which one worked
It has already landed on the wine name or the minimum legal text Try it while the job keeps running Scrap keeps going
Log the speed, the viscosity, and which colour. Only say you already adjusted it The next shift cannot pick it up

Leave this behind

  1. Drop speed and viscosity first. Do not wipe every label.
  2. In the same place, confirm whether the misting has eased.
  3. Log the speed, the viscosity, and which colour.
