  • -->The Swedish newspaper market is challenged by circulation declines similar to those of other European countries. In 2013, the MittMedia corporation streamlined its print operations. As several of MittMedia's printed publications are actual competitors on the same market, this maneuver had to be carried out while maintaining individual brands and clear visual differences. The design project was headed by Ole Munk who will explain the basics of a complex newspaper production system in which state-of-the-art prepress possibilities are being utilized to the maximum extent.

  • Do you know about the problems caused by drying based colour shifts in newspaper printing? Are your printer also forced to do the inking control based on experience and instinct because of the lack of a colour reliable proof? Do you know a (soft) proof solution which could simulate wet printing conditions? This session points out the necessity to simulate wet printing conditions by the example of an recent research project. The major result of this project was the development of the fist soft proof solution which is able to simulate wet printing conditions.

  • Fewer and fewer people read newspapers? Not at all!

A model that gives courage - because it shows that newspaper reading is again a family affair and children will be the readers of tomorrow.
