Five U.S. members of INCQC use US Ink.

Five of the seven U.S. members of the 2006-2008 International Newspaper Color Quality Club (INCQC) use US Ink's RealColor, according to US Ink. Only 50 of the world's newspapers are chosen every two years to be members of INCQC.

The five newspapers are The Boston Globe, Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY), News-Leader (Springfield, MO), The New York Times and The Times Herald (Norristown, PA), which is the only first-time member.

"We are proud of our long-term partnership with these quality-conscious publications, and congratulate them on their award-winning print quality," said Greg Lawson, US Ink's president. INCQC officials selected this year's class from a field of 181 newspapers from 38 countries that participated in the worldwide newspaper printing quality competition organized jointly by Ifra, the Newspaper Association of America (NAA) and the Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers' Association.

"The best 50 newspaper titles that have achieved membership in the International Club will be honored at a ceremony during IfraExpo Oct. 9-12 in Amsterdam," noted John Corcoran, vice president of sales for US Ink. "Over the last decade, color capacity has significantly expanded in the newspaper pressroom. Assisting our customers to meet the expectations of today's advertisers and readers are mutually rewarding."
