Petroleum-based News Colors

Web News™ Colors for no heat newspaper presses

Kerley "Web News" Process colors are low-VOC, are petroleum-based, and have low mist, low-drip properties for open fountain news presses. These colors also have excellent color strength and will give consistent, controlled color reproduction. Generally, these colors will be priced more advantageously than similar soy oil-based or other agro-based colors.

Contrary to expectations, our petroleum-based news colors have very low VOC content (typically below 6%) and offer superb de-inking properties for easy recycling of newspaper stock. Additionally, Web News Colors offer an alternative to soy oil-based inks during times when the market price of soy oil increases to high levels relative to the cost of petroleum oils. 

Web News colors are available in the following colors:

  • Process Blue
  • Rubine Red/Process Red
  • Process Yellow
