Color Quality Club Members
Fifty-one newspapers from around the world, including 16 from the United States, were selected as members of the NAA/IFRA/PANPA 2000-2002 International Newspaper Color Quality Club.
Potential members submitted samples for consideration by an international panel of color-quality experts. Evaluation was based on a colorimetric evaluation of the sample, jury evaluation of a second sample, and a visual evaluation of overall print quality. Only those who scored 225 or higher on a 300-point scale were granted the two-year membership in the INCQC.
“It’s encouraging to see the outstanding color quality being produced by newspapers all over the world, and the International Newspaper Color Quality Club is a great way to recognize the newspapers that are doing it best,” says Tom Croteau, NAA’s senior vice president of technology. “The Club also helps remind readers and advertisers that many newspapers print great color—and do so consistently.”
