Notes :

1. Due to mode of printing (high speed web wet-on wet) on newsprint, a certain degree of set-off and see through must be expected.
2. Misregistration of 0.5mm is acceptable in Newspaper colour printing.
3. Advertisement printed on newsprint will always appear darker than the final sheet-fed proofs supplied by the production houses due to inevitable dot-gain.
