    The document discusses factors that affect ink mileage in newspaper printing. It defines ink mileage as the number of copies produced from 1 kg of ink or the kg of ink needed to print 1000 impressions. The key factors discussed are: 1. Strength and pigment level of the ink. Higher pigment means thinner ink film and greater mileage. 2. Print density control. Increasing density over 20% requires over double the ink film weight increase. 3. Proper ink and water balance. Too much or too little can impact mileage. The degree of ink emulsification also affects film thickness. 4. Substrate uniformity. Smoother paper surfaces require less ink for the same

    Introduction Ink mileage is usually defined as the nuber of copies
    produced with a kilogram of ink or more commonly quoted
    in our newspaper industry as the kgs of ink required to print
    a thousand impressions on paper.
    Factors affecting
    ink mileage
    More pigment

    Thinner the ink film

    Greater the ink mileage

    1. Strength of the ink


    2.Print density control

    It will require
    progressively larger
    As the density is
    amounts of ink to
    increased
    affect a change in
    density.

    For example, an increase in print density of 20% (from 1.0 to 1.2) requires an ink film weight increase
    of 58%. This film weight percentage increase is over double the percentage of the print density change. 
    1 2 3
    Proper ink and water As the level of ink and The degree of
    balance is a key part of water is increased on emulsification of water
    offset printing. press ink mileage can be and ink will also
    inadvertently affected.  determine the thickness
    of ink film

    3.Ink and water balance


    •Paper is made up of fibers that are pressed together to form
    the paper.
    •The surface is not smooth and depending on the uniformity,
    will change the level of ink required to achive the final print
    density

    4. Substrate
    •This is the coverage of the area printed on a
    sheet of news print. 
    •The coverage wil be determined by the
    print designer
