When to stop for a lint hickey on corrugated preprint
On corrugated preprint, stop if a fibre lands on type or a barcode. If it hits a barcode or the large product name, that sheet cannot ship. You can see fibre inside the white ring, and sometimes you can wipe it off.

Check the critical spots first
You can see fibre inside the white ring, and sometimes you can wipe it off. Ink skin is solid dry ink. There is no fibre. On corrugated preprint the critical spots are the barcode and the large product name. If the decorative area has no hickey chart, do not invent a millimetre limit on the spot.
Check
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre shows inside the white ring, and sometimes you can wipe it off. | Stop if the fibre lands on type or a barcode. | Add ink or pressure just because you saw it |
| It lands on a barcode or the large product name | That sheet cannot ship | Wait for the next process to find it |
| Only on decoration, and there is no hickey chart | Hold a sample and confirm | Write your own millimetre limit |
Do this on this run
- Confirm it is a lint hickey: fibre inside the white ring, and sometimes you can wipe it off.
- Check the paper edge and the blanket wash first. Do not filter the ink as if it were ink skin.
- Write down the paper lot and when the blanket was washed.
