The Standard - Display Advertising Rates

Hong Kong and China are home to an increasing number of internationally minded business people and decision-makers for whom English is a critical working tool. As the region’s only English-language daily specifically tailored for the business community, The Standard is uniquely placed to become its leading source of business, financial and economic news. Against a backdrop of increasing competition, no one does it better than we do.

Due to the absorbency of newsprint and the very high speed at which the press runs, UCR/PCR techniques must be applied to color separations meant for newspaper production. The instructions to separation houses should be that no single area of full color print should exceed 240% aggregate color laydown. All separations must compensate, especially in the mid-tones, for 35% dot gain on newsprint.

Press proofs provided with material are to be on newsprint. Newspaper proofs should specify ink manufacturer. For more accurate reproduction, it is suggested a four-color newsprint proof and individual color proofs be supplied.
