Move one thing first
If the tone then leaves the signed sample, stop. If it has already hit the brand mark or a brand-color solid, stop first and then adjust. Do not trial it while printing. Fill-in grows the whole dot. The center does not go white.
Order
| Do this first | Do not | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Reduce impression. Do not add ink. | Change ink, pressure, and speed together | Change three things and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the brand mark or a brand-color solid | Trial it while the job is still running | Waste keeps going |
| Note the impression and the blanket number. | Only say that it was adjusted | The next shift cannot pick it up |
