Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Stochastic screening" in English language version.
We have always printed black solid text using 100pc black ink but ...we intend to reduce all text to a 90pc screen. This does not affect quality in any way but it does save on ink. Archant is the only newspaper company in this country capable of undertaking this because of its FM screen technology. Traditional newspaper AM screen technology would have resulted in fine text becoming grainy....Photographs will be unaffected and it will also have the added benefit of less black ink rub off. The process involves punching tiny holes, which are invisible without a magnifying glass, into the font.
