What to record for smashed dots on a textured wine label
For smashed dots on a textured wine label, at least record the impression and the blanket number. Miss any one and the next shift can't tell whether to change the part. The center of the dot goes white, and a ring is squeezed out around it.

The note is for the next shift
Writing only "there are smashed dots" is useless. The center of the dot goes white, and a ring is squeezed out around it. You also need the location. If a textured wine label hits the wine name or the smallest legal text, 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 impression and the blanket 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 wine name or the smallest legal text | Decide whether to pass or stop | You only keep a nice picture |
Hand this to the next shift
- Record the impression and the blanket number.
- Write whether it landed on the wine name or the smallest legal text.
- Use the name on the name list. Don't invent another word.
