What to write down for scumming on a pharma label
For scumming on a pharma label, at least write this: the water and the ink of which colour. Miss any one of them and the next shift cannot tell whether a part should be changed. There is a light film of ink where there should be none.

This note is for the next shift
Writing only "there is scumming" does nothing. There is a light film of ink where there should be none. You also need the place. On a pharma label, if it affects the lot number, the expiry, or a barcode, the note must say whether you stopped or let it go.
What to write down
| Item | What it is for | If you skip it |
|---|---|---|
| The water and the ink of which colour. | Match it to a roll, a blade, or the stock | Next time you guess from zero |
| Metre mark or sheet number | Find this spot again | A complaint will not line up |
| Whether it hit the lot number, the expiry, or a barcode | Decide to ship or to stop | You only keep a nice picture |
Hand it to the next shift
- Write down the water and the ink of which colour.
- Write whether it landed on the lot number, the expiry, or a barcode.
- Use the name from the name list. Do not invent another word.
