What is the acceptable width of the line that makes up the red oval? [Steve Ricke] 16 thousands of an inch Steve, I don't understand this. If the red is invisible to the sensors, what difference does it make how thick the ovals are? The available thickness is one of the selling points. Nel [Steve Ricke] I was using the Famous Names ballot as a guide. You are likely correct. No reference in the ballot specs rev. D. Specs need updating. Have run tests with special ballots proving Pantone 130 U Pumpkin Orange is virtually invisible to Visible Light readers. This was done on white paper stock. Colored paper stock may well cause problems with thick ovals. Use only Pantone 032 U or 130 U. No black or other pigmentation to darken the oval. Keep the printing plates clean. Use white paper stock. If the printer abides by this, I would guess the thickness of the ovals should not be a significant factor. Also, A black oval line cannot exceed 0.002 inch according to the specs. I wrote that they could be up to 0.003 inch. My mistake.
