Mark-up

As of 10:34 · the period does not apply here

The file as it came in, with everything the book found marked where it was found. What has no place on the artwork — the colour space, the ink on the paper, the licence — is listed without a pin rather than given a spot it does not have.

seasonal-sticker-die1.ai

The printer's own artwork for the seasonal sticker. Round one went back with the die-line still printing; everything a machine can measure is right this time, and a die-line layer is not something a machine can see.

What the book found

Numbered where the finding has a place on the artwork, and in the order it has to be dealt with.

A die-line left in the artwork prints as a thin magenta rectangle around the label, on every bag.

Real weights, never faux bold or slanted
Checklist
Confirm the weights are real rather than outlined or sheared
The families ship the weights. A bold made by outlining and a slant made by shearing both look like what they are, at size, on paper.

Every line says how it was tested. A measurement and a match can fail a file on their own; a model’s question never can, however sure it says it is.

Lines nobody has automated and nobody is pretending to. A person ticks them.

Omni has counted. It does not have a way to approve anything and is not getting one.
