What to record for misting on a corrugated preprint

For misting on a corrugated preprint, at least record the speed, the viscosity and which color. Miss any one and the next shift can't tell whether to change the part. A mist of fine spots in the unprinted area, and around the press as well.

Misting on a corrugated preprint

The note is for the next shift

Writing only "there is misting" is useless. A mist of fine spots in the unprinted area, and around the press as well. 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 speed, the viscosity and which color. 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

  1. Record the speed, the viscosity and which color.
  2. Write whether it landed on the barcode or the large product name.
  3. Use the name on the name list. Don't invent another word.
