A PRINTING SUBSTRATE
The invention relates to a printing substrate for gravure and offset printing, which substrate exhibits a Cobb(w15) water absorption value below 15 g/m2, preferably below 12 g/m2, a Cobb(o,C10) oil absorption value below 1.2 g/m2, preferably below 1 g/m2, and an Ink setting below 0.5, preferably below 0.3. The low water and oil absorption in combination with the quite fast ink setting of the substrate according to the invention gives rise to a printed substrate with improved printing qualities.
