When to stop for a streak on a textured-paper wine label

On a textured-paper wine label, stop if the streak crosses type or a barcode, and still log a light line. If it hits the wine name or the minimum legal text, that label cannot go. It is a continuous light or dark line in one direction.

Streak on a textured-paper wine label

First see whether it hits a critical spot

A continuous light or dark line in one direction. A lone hickey does not pull into a line across the sheet. On a textured-paper wine label, the critical spot is the wine name or the minimum legal text. If the decoration has no hickey chart, do not invent a millimetre number on the spot.

What you see Call Do not
A continuous light or dark line in one direction. Stop if it crosses type or a barcode, and still log a light line. Add ink or add impression just because you see it
It lands on the wine name or the minimum legal text This one cannot go Wait for a later station to find it
Only on the decoration, and there is no hickey chart Keep a sample and confirm Write your own millimetre number

Do this on this turn

  1. Confirm it is a streak: a continuous light or dark line in one direction.
  2. First judge whether it runs with the web or across it, then decide to check the blade or the roller.
  3. Log the direction, the colour unit, and the metre count where it started.
