It also helps when you take notes, (i.e., yellow plug, white plug, etc.).

Kindest,

If you are checking for roll, take a sharpie and draw a line along the top of a primed prototype, make it run down the length of the plug.
It makes roll real obvious, not that all roll is bad, but minimally it will tell you which ones to paint solid colors and to leave blind. Nothing like eye up, eye down, eye up , eye down.
