What to record for a doctor-blade line on a corrugated preprint
For a doctor-blade line on a corrugated preprint, at least record the blade number, the pressure and the anilox number. Miss any one and the next shift can't tell whether to change the part. A fine line in the web direction. Its position does not move with the artwork.

The note is for the next shift
Writing only "there is a doctor-blade line" is useless. A fine line in the web direction. Its position does not move with the artwork. You also need the location. If a corrugated preprint hits the barcode or the large product name, the note has to say whether you stopped or passed it.
What to write down
| Item | What it's for | If you leave it out |
|---|---|---|
| Record the blade number, the pressure and the anilox number. | Match it to the roller, the blade or the material | Next time you guess from scratch |
| Metre count or sheet number | Find this spot again | The complaint won't match |
| Whether it hit the barcode or the large product name | Decide whether to pass or stop | You only keep a nice picture |
Hand this to the next shift
- Record the blade number, the pressure and the anilox number.
- Write whether it landed on the barcode or the large product name.
- Use the name on the name list. Don't invent another word.
