We consider Ising-spin systems starting from an initial Gibbs measure $\nu$ and evolving under a spin-flip dynamics towards a reversible Gibbs measure $\mu\not=\nu$. Both $\nu$ and $\mu$ are assumed to have a finite-range interaction. We study the Gibbsian character of the measure $\nu S(t)$ at time $t$ and show the following: (1) For all $\nu$ and $\mu$, $\nu S(t)$ is Gibbs for small $t$. (2) If both $\nu$ and $\mu$ have a high or infinite temperature, then $\nu S(t)$ is Gibbs for all $t>0$. (3) If $\nu$ has a low non-zero temperature and a zero magnetic field and $\mu$ has a high or infinite temperature, then $\nu S(t)$ is Gibbs for small $t$ and non-Gibbs for large $t$. (4) If $\nu$ has a low non-zero temperature and a non-zero magnetic field and $\mu$ has a high or infinite temperature, then $\nu S(t)$ is Gibbs for small $t$, non-Gibbs for intermediate $t$, and Gibbs for large $t$. The regime where $\mu$ has a low or zero temperature and $t$ is not small remains open. This regime presumably allows for many different scenarios.
