Digitally printed newspapers – news on demand – gain importance. INGEDE has initiated investigations on the recyclability of digitally printed newspapers. For the first time, inkjet printed samples have been tested.The presentation will outline remarkable differences between new digital printing processes. It will also deal with high speed printing processes used for direct mail, with dye and pigment based inkjet, liquid and dry toners and UV curable technologies. New results obtained with improved toners will be presented. More companies have joined INGEDE's deinkability survey that has been presented at NIP22 for the first time [1]. More – and more reliable – results have been achieved. The consequences for the printing industry will be discussed.
