What to record for ink skin on a pharma label
Ink skin on a pharma label must at least keep this: the ink batch and the filtration. Miss any one and the next shift cannot tell whether to change a part. A solid dark spot that can be wiped or lifted off.

The record is for the next shift
Writing only “there is ink skin” is useless. A solid dark spot that can be wiped or lifted off. It also needs a location. If a pharma label hits the lot number, the expiry, or the barcode, the record must say already stopped or already released.
What to write down
| Item | What it is for | If it is missing |
|---|---|---|
| The ink batch and the filtration. | Match it to the roll, the blade, or the material | Next time you guess from zero |
| Metres or sheet number | Find this spot again | The complaint will not match |
| Whether it hit the lot number, the expiry, or the barcode | Decide release or stop | You only keep a nice picture |
Hand it to the next shift
- Note the ink batch and the filtration.
- Write whether it landed on the lot number, the expiry, or the barcode.
- Use the name on the name list. Do not invent another word.
