What to adjust first when reticulation shows on a food web
Check surface tension and viscosity first. Do not add pressure to force it flat. Change only one place. Write the material batch and the viscosity.
When reticulation shows on a food web, check surface tension and viscosity first. Do not add pressure to force it flat. Change only this one place. After the change, look again at the same place.
Move one place first
Stop if the beads break a solid or the text. If it has already touched the ingredient list, an allergen statement, or the barcode, stop first and then adjust. Do not try it while the press is still running. A pinhole is a small hole that shows the substrate. Reticulation is the ink gathering itself into beads.
The order
| Do this first | Do not do this first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Check surface tension and viscosity. Do not add pressure to force it flat | Change ink, pressure, and speed together | Three changes at once hide which one worked |
| It has already landed on the ingredient list, an allergen statement, or the barcode | Try it while production continues | Scrap keeps moving |
| Write the material batch and the viscosity | Only say that it was adjusted | The next shift cannot take it over |
Leave this when you are done
- Check surface tension and viscosity first. Do not add pressure to force it flat.
- At the same place, see whether the reticulation has eased.
- Write the material batch and the viscosity.
