DCS Mini Edition Newspaper

Digital Color Scale Atlas, CMYK, for 4c advertising paper and newsprint

The DCS is a key aid for graphic design agencies involved in designing advertising for 4c newsprint. 170g/m² RecyStar recycling paper is used as a substrate to convey a similar color impression as printing on newsprint. In newspaper printing, the colors appear more matt and provide less contrast than on printing paper. This factor needs to be taken into account when designing color adverts in newspapers.

The atlas has 144 pages, each with 144 color fields size 14 x 14 mm, providing 20,736 colors. The full black overprint in 10 steps also provides a wide variety of intermediate hues.
