When to stop for a dot tail on a cosmetics carton
On a cosmetics carton, stop if the tail fills a barcode or fine type. Don't pass it if it hits the brand mark or a brand-color solid. The dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed.

First see whether it hit the critical spot
The dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed. Slur stretches the whole dot. A tail is an extra piece. On a cosmetics carton, the critical spot is the brand mark or a brand-color solid. On decoration, with no defect sheet, don't invent a millimetre limit on the spot.
Check against this
| What you see | Call | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| The dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed. | Stop if the tail fills a barcode or fine type. | Add ink or pressure just because you saw it |
| It lands on the brand mark or a brand-color solid | Don't pass this one | Wait for the next process to find it |
| Only on decoration, and there is no defect sheet | Keep a sample and confirm | Write your own millimetre number |
Do this on this pass
- Confirm it is a dot tail: the dot throws a small tail, and the direction is fixed.
- Check impression and whether the ink is too thin. Don't change the screen angle.
- Note the direction, the impression and the viscosity.
