Excerpt:
Newsprint is designed to provide a practical balance of printability, smoothness, strength and production performance for high-volume printing.
Newsprint is specifically produced for applications where efficient and dependable printing is important. Its key characteristics include suitable surface properties, consistent formation, adequate strength and reliable print performance.
For high-volume newspaper production, the paper must move smoothly through printing equipment while supporting clear and consistent image reproduction.
Manufacturing quality and process control are therefore essential in achieving the required performance characteristics of newsprint.
