NEWSPRINT & IMPROVED NEWSPRINT
Newsprint is an uncoated paper that is mainly used for printing newspapers. In the past, it has been made largely from mechanical pulp. But today, an increasing amount of recovered paper, mainly old newspapers (ONP) and old magazines (OMG), also goes into the production. The weight of a sheet of newsprint usually ranges from 40 g/m to 52 g/m, but can be as high as 65 g/m. Newsprint is white or slightly coloured (eg, Financial Times), and is supplied in reels for rotogravure, offset or flexo printing.
