Conditions that must stay right when you measure yellow variation
Yellow ink is sensitive to the backing and to wet or dry. Do not pair a wet yellow with a dry yellow to make up this 5. Follow the job ticket, not the shift’s memory.
Yellow ink is sensitive to the backing and to wet or dry. Do not pair a wet yellow with a dry yellow to make up this 5. Follow the job ticket. Do not rely on what the shift remembers.

Which conditions have to hold together
Do not skip yellow because it looks less obvious. When yellow is over, skin tones and brand colours both shift. If the conditions differ, the two numbers cannot sit in the same comparison.
Condition check
| Item | Do this | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow variation | Yellow is sensitive to backing and to wet or dry. Do not pair wet yellow with dry yellow to make up this 5. Follow the job ticket, not the shift’s memory. | Write only a feeling |
| Common miss | Do not skip yellow because it looks faint. Over yellow moves skin tones and brand colours. | Keep the wrong limit |
| Leave on the sheet | Yellow has its own line. Do not write only that cyan, magenta and black passed. Write wet or dry. | Leave only the word pass |
Check before you measure
- Put yellow on its own line.
- Write wet or dry.
- Do not judge yellow with the 4 used for cyan, magenta and black.
