When to stop if a textured-paper wine label prints lighter down the run
On a textured-paper wine label, stop if it prints so light that type is incomplete or it falls below the colour sample. If it hits the wine name or the minimum legal text, that label cannot go. The whole plate goes lighter together, and it gets clearer as the run goes.

First see whether it hits a critical spot
The whole plate goes lighter together, and it gets clearer as the run goes. A local mottle does not lighten the whole plate in step. 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.
Side by side
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| The whole plate goes lighter together, and it gets clearer as the run goes. | Stop if type is no longer complete or the colour falls below the sample. | 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
- Confirm it is printing lighter down the run: The whole plate goes lighter together, and it gets clearer as the run goes.
- Check the fountain, the circulation, and a plugged anilox first. Do not change the file first.
- Log the fountain level and the roller number.
