When to stop for a water spot on a textured wine label
Stop when the water spot hits the brand color or the type. If it hits the wine name or the smallest legal type, that label cannot go. If there is no chart, do not invent millimeters.
A water spot on a textured wine label means stop when it lands on the brand color or the type. If it hits the wine name or the smallest legal type, that label cannot go. A local ring, with mottle inside.
First see whether a critical spot is hit
A local ring, with mottle inside. Ink starvation has no watermark ring at the edge. On a textured wine label the critical spots are the wine name and the smallest legal type. If a decorative area has no dirt-spot chart, do not write a millimeter number on the spot.
What to compare
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| A local ring, with mottle inside | Stop when the water spot hits the brand color or the type | Add ink or pressure just because you see it |
| Lands on the wine name or the smallest legal type | This label cannot go | Wait for the next step to find it |
| Only on decoration and there is no chart | Keep a sample and have it checked | Write your own millimeters |
Do this first this round
- See if it is a water spot: a local ring, with mottle inside.
- Check the water form roller and the water train. Do not add ink.
- Write down which unit's water setting it was.
