Deinkability of offset prints Offset printed products represent by far the largest group in the investigations, comprising 56 % of all tests, mainly newspapers and magazines. Newspapers generally correspond to coldset printing, in which drying occurs primarily by absorption. Flyers printed on newsprint-type papers as well as magazines and flyers printed on SC and LWC papers
