Abstract

PremiumNews, an innovative product for newsprint, is the world’s first glossy newsprint paper for high speed web offset printing presses without dryers. Generally, coated papers and supercalendered papers are not applied to newsprint presses without dryers due to the slow drying of the ink, and it was thought to be impossible to achieve a glossy, clean print finish with newsprint. However, we started to develop the world’s first glossy newsprint in a joint project with Asahi Printech, Asahi Shimbun, and Sakata Inx. After overcoming many challenges, we finally found a way to manufacture glossy newsprint with a clean finish by optimizing both the coating (through pigment selection) and the base paper. In addition, Frequency-Modulation screening plates and high consistency ink contribute to further improve the clean finish by reducing the amount of ink required. Consequently we have succeeded in manufacturing glossy newsprint, “PremiumNews”, on a commercial basis.
