What to move first when plate bounce shows on a food web
When plate bounce shows on a food web, ease the bearer shock or check the gap. Do not change the ink first. Change only this one thing, then look again at the same place. One bar sits at a fixed place after the gap or the gripper.

Move one thing first
If that bar cuts through the main image, stop. If it has already hit the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode, stop first and then adjust. Do not trial it while printing. A gear mark makes many bars at tooth pitch. Bounce is often just one.
Order
| Do this first | Do not | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ease bearer shock or check the gap. Do not change the ink first. | Change ink, pressure, and speed together | Change three things and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode | Trial it while the job is still running | Waste keeps going |
| Note the position around the cylinder and which color. | Only say that it was adjusted | The next shift cannot pick it up |
