When to stop for slur on a cosmetics carton
On a cosmetics carton, stop if slur smears the type or distorts a barcode. If it hits the brand mark or a brand-colour solid, that carton cannot ship. The dots stretch in one direction only.

Check the critical spots first
The dots stretch in one direction only. Dot gain grows all around the dot. It is not a one-way tail. On a cosmetics carton the critical spots are the brand mark and the brand-colour solid. If the decorative area has no hickey chart, do not invent a millimetre limit on the spot.
Check
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Dots stretch in one direction only. | Stop if type is smeared or a barcode is distorted. | Add ink or pressure just because you saw it |
| It lands on the brand mark or a brand-colour solid | That carton 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 slur: the dots stretch in one direction only.
- Drop the pressure or check for slip before you raise the screen ruling.
- Write down which colour, the pressure, and the press speed.
