What to adjust first when moiré shows on a textured wine label
When moiré shows on a textured wine label, check the screen angle or the screen ruling. Don't wash it as a dirty plate. Change only this one place, then look again at the same spot.

Move one thing first
If the pattern shows in the main image, stop and change the screen angle. Don't print the whole batch. On a textured wine label, if it has already hit the wine name or the smallest legal text, stop first, then adjust. Don't trial it while the press is running. Mottling does not have that regular angle.
Order
| Do this first | Don't yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Check the screen angle or the screen ruling. Don't wash it as a dirty plate. | Change ink, pressure and speed together | Change three things at once and you won't know which one did it |
| It has already landed on the wine name or the smallest legal text | Trial it while the job is still running | Scrap keeps moving |
| Note each color's screen angle and screen ruling. | Only say you already adjusted it | The next shift can't pick it up |
Leave this when you're done
- Check the screen angle or the screen ruling. Don't wash it as a dirty plate.
- At the same spot, confirm whether the moiré has eased.
- Note each color's screen angle and screen ruling.
