When to stop for a hickey on a food web
On a food web, a hickey on type or a barcode means stop. In a solid, follow the hickey chart. If it hits the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode, do not release it. The white spot has a fiber in the middle or a ring of ink.

Look first at whether it hit a critical spot
The white spot has a fiber in the middle or a ring of ink. A void is clean paper in the middle, with no dark center. On a food web, the critical spots are the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode. If the decorative area has no hickey chart, do not invent a millimetre number on the spot.
Side by side
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| White spot with a fiber in the middle or a ring of ink. | On type or a barcode, stop. In a solid, follow the hickey chart. | Add ink or impression the moment you see it |
| It lands on the ingredient list, an allergen, or a barcode | This one cannot be released | Wait for the next process to find it |
| Only on decoration, and there is no hickey chart | Keep a sample and confirm | Write your own millimetre number |
Do this first on this pass
- Confirm it is a hickey: a fiber in the white spot or a ring of ink.
- Stop and wipe the blanket or the plate. Do not increase the ink.
- Note the deck and the approximate position in the repeat.
