When mottling shows on a food web, what do you move first
Look at the next repeat and see if the position moves. If it moves, it is the stock. If it stays, it is ink or water. Change only one thing. Write down the stock lot, the water, and which colour.
When mottling shows on a food web, look at the next repeat and see if the position moves. If it moves, it is the stock. If it stays, it is ink or water. Change only this one thing, then look again in the same place.
Move one thing first
Stop if a brand-colour solid mottles past the approved sample. If there is no sample, keep one and ask. On a food web, if it already hits the ingredient list, the allergen statement, or the barcode, stop before you adjust. Do not try it while the press is running. Ink starvation lightens the whole plate together. It is not patchy.
Order
| Do first | Not yet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Look at the next repeat and see if the position moves. If it moves, it is the stock. If it stays, it is ink or water. | Change ink, impression, and speed together | Change three things and you will not know which one worked |
| It already landed on the ingredient list, the allergen statement, or the barcode | Try it while production is running | Scrap keeps moving |
| Write down the stock lot, the water setting, and which colour. | Only say that you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
- Look at the next repeat and see if the position moves. If it moves, it is the stock. If it stays, it is ink or water.
- In the same place, confirm whether the mottling has eased.
- Write down the stock lot, the water setting, and which colour.
