MAXIMUM COLOR DENSITY:

—Two secondary colors should not exceed 70% each.
—Single colors not intended to print solid should not exceed 80%.
—For optimum results, recommend the use of Under Color Removal (UCR) and Gray Component Replacement (GCR) when generating separations. Good results have been reported with GCR as high as 60-70%. Actual dot percentages will increase for black and decrease for cyan, magenta and yellow when UCR/GCR is applied.

—Type should be surprinted only in areas having tint values of 30% or less.
—Four-color reverses should not be smaller than 14 points and should be reversed only out of areas having at least 70% tone value in black, magenta or cyan.
—Remove all colors under reverse to avoid registration problems.

UNSHARP MASKING:
—Printing on newsprint may soften dots; when the subject matter permits, unsharp masking should be considered to sharpen dots. Refer to SNAP specifications for guidelines.
—Remove colors that contaminate from bright colors.
—Ads are printed on 40-lb. basis weight hibrite newsprint with 68 brightness.
