The plate itself
A hatch is a clamp, not a personality.
Vertical curve on a face decides whether a high strike launches more or less. On this harbor we treat that curve as a hatch you clamp after the layer votes.
We ink a face, we hit a short window we keep damp like an eight o'clock layer, and we watch whether marks sit high or low. High marks want less roll. Low marks can live with more. The hatch is that vote, not a number from inland heat.
A desert card that ignores the layer gets sealed. We do not 'open it a little' as a souvenir from Palm something.
