Introduction
Newsprint
The newsprint we use for your prints is a slightly off-white 60g/m² paper. It is considered 'improved' newsprint, which allows for a higher ink load that the paper can sustain to achieve more vivid outcomes.
The shade of the newsprint provides warm whites, but its thinness does not allow for deep blacks. That's why we recommend selecting high-contrast and dynamic images to ensure the best possible rendering.
Newsprint provides high-quality results that can find uses for artistic or promotional projects.

Uses
Newsprint is an atypical medium due to its thinness and color. To make the most of it, keep in mind that it is an information carrier designed to be produced quickly and at a low cost.
Thanks to the improved newsprint we use, it becomes a qualitative and original medium for all editorial and graphic projects.
Using this paper allows us to print your newspapers at competitive costs for delivery within a few days.
