Summary
WAN-IFRA Research and Material Testing Centre (RMTC) conducted a research study on the conformance of the newsprint used by Indian publishers, both Indian and imported newsprint, to DIN 19306-4. There is no comprehensive ISO standard for newsprint and the German standard for newsprint is the only one that is available. Since the paper business is a global business, we can apply the DIN standard internationally.
The objective of the study is to
- Find the quality levels of Indian and Imported newsprint in comparison with DIN 19306-4
- Identify the problem areas
- Find out the effect of the problems in the productivity of newspaper production
A total of 17 newsprint samples, 9 Imported and 8 Indian, are tested for the parameters specified in DIN 19306-4.
