When dots trail on corrugated preprint, what do you move first
When dots trail on corrugated preprint, check the impression and whether the ink is too thin. Do not change the screen angle. Change only this one thing. Look again in the same place after you change it.

Move one thing first
Stop if the tail fills a barcode or the small type. If it has already hit a barcode or the large product name, stop first, then adjust. Do not try it while the press keeps running. A slur lengthens the whole dot. A trail is an extra piece.
Order
| Do this first | Do not do this first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Check the impression and whether the ink is too thin. Do not change the screen angle. | Change ink, pressure, and speed at the same time | Change three things at once and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on a barcode or the large product name | Try it while the job keeps running | Scrap keeps going |
| Log the direction, the impression, and the viscosity. | Only say you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this behind
- Check the impression and whether the ink is too thin. Do not change the screen angle.
- In the same place, confirm whether the trailing dots has eased.
- Log the direction, the impression, and the viscosity.
