Here you will also find our general guidelines for newspaper printing: Download section
Only perfectly prepared image data lead in newspaper printing to beautiful printing products. Using natural papers with an open surface means that images require more intensive processing than with other printing methods.
The paper is always matt, the surface strongly absorbs the ink and if the image has not been sufficiently primed, brilliance and richness of detail are soon lost. Only a few steps are needed for an impressive image result in newspaper printing. You will find information on this in our download files. And if you are not sure how you should do it: we will handle it.
For the selection of the images to be used, fundamentally the following criteria should be complied with: use large-scale images with few details in the image and prefer high contrasts with sharp contours.
Particularly with images, it is important to use the right resolution. As a rule of thumb, a minimum resolution of 200 dpi with 100 per cent image size applies for images in newspaper printing.
| Resolution | Size (200 dpi) | Size (300 dpi) | 10 x 15 cm | 13 x 18 cm | 20 x 30 cm (ca. A4) | 40 x 60 cm (ca. A2) |

We print with a 60-line grid. What does that mean? For instance, the points with a 60-line are only half as large as with a 40-line and can thus no longer be broken down by the human eye as individual dots and therefore are no longer noticeable. And the typical rosettes are avoided. Images thus look sharper and clearer. grid grid grid grid
As a fundamental rule, the following applies: the fine the the more detailed the tonal values, without the viewer seeing hard gradations. grid
The screen ruling, also called screen frequency, is a unit of measurement for the resolution of printing grids. It indicates how many points occur per unit of length. The unit of measurement is also often indicated per centimetre (L/cm) or lines per inch (lpi), whereby lines per cm means the same as dots per cm. grid
For printing technology reasons, the fineness in the dot structure is limited. The possible fineness fundamentally depends namely on the surface quality of the selected printing paper. For this reason, the following usual frequencies result: grid grid
More details in light areas
More structure in areas dark
More beautiful gradients
Greater punch and sharper details
Richer colours and contrasts
More depth
Brighter colours
More human
