When misregister on a food web means a stop
Stop if it is outside the tolerance written on this job. If none is written, do not invent one at the press. 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, misregister means a stop if it is outside the tolerance written on this job. If this job does not write a tolerance, do not invent one at the press. If it touches the ingredient list, an allergen statement, or the barcode, that repeat cannot go.
Look first at whether it hits a critical place
The register crosses of one color sit off the crosses of another. With bleed, the crosses still line up and the color boundary runs. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| The register crosses of one color sit off another | Stop if it is outside the tolerance written on this job. If none is written, do not invent one at the press | 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 misregister: the register crosses of one color sit off another.
- Use the numbers on the crosses. Do not estimate from fine type in the picture.
- Write each color’s offset and the unit.
