When ghosting on a food web means a stop
If the faint type is regulatory text, stop. Decorative faint type follows the sample. If it touches the ingredient list, an allergen statement, or the barcode, that repeat cannot go. With no dirt-spot table, do not invent a millimetre number.
On a food web, ghosting means a stop if the faint type is regulatory text. Decorative faint type follows the approved sample. If it touches the ingredient list, an allergen statement, or the barcode, that repeat cannot go. Faint type after a large solid is weaker than the same type elsewhere.
Look first at whether it hits a critical place
Faint type after a large solid is weaker than the same type elsewhere. Doubling gives every dot a second dot. Ghosting follows a large solid. On a food web the critical places are the ingredient list, the allergen statement, and the barcode. If a decorative area has no dirt-spot table, do not write a millimetre number for the moment.
What to compare
| What you see | What to call it | What not to do |
|---|---|---|
| Faint type after a large solid is weaker than elsewhere | If the faint type is regulatory text, stop. Decorative faint type follows the sample | Add ink or pressure just because you see it |
| It lands on the ingredient list, an allergen statement, or the barcode | This repeat cannot go | Wait for a later step to find it |
| It is only on decoration and there is no dirt-spot table | Keep a sample and have it checked | Write your own millimetres |
Do this round first
- See whether it is ghosting: faint type after a large solid is weaker than elsewhere.
- Check the ink train and the ink amount first. Do not treat it as register.
- Write which color it is and where the solid sits.
