About This Item
ASTM D7189 is the ASTM standard for evaluating the relative mileage of news ink on newsprint. It provides a technical basis for comparing how news inks perform on a newsprint substrate, which can help support consistent product selection, quality checks, and performance comparisons. For printers, ink suppliers, and related quality teams, the standard matters because relative mileage can affect coverage, efficiency, and overall print performance in routine production use.
ASTM D7189 standard overview
The official title, Standard Test Method for Relative Mileage of News Ink on Newsprint, indicates a focused test method for measuring and comparing news ink mileage on newsprint. In practical terms, ASTM D7189 is used as a standardized reference for evaluating how far an ink can go under defined test conditions. That makes it useful for controlled comparison of news ink performance, especially when consistency and repeatability are important in procurement, formulation, or product qualification.
Where is ASTM D7189 used?
This standard is commonly used in workflows involving news inks and newsprint, especially where performance comparisons are needed before or during production. It may be applied by ink manufacturers, print operations, and testing laboratories that work with newsprint-based printing applications. ASTM D7189 is relevant when a buyer or technical team needs a common test method to compare relative mileage across ink products or batches without relying on subjective judgments alone.
Practical importance of ASTM D7189
ASTM D7189 helps support more consistent testing and better-informed decisions about news ink performance on newsprint. By using a recognized standard method, organizations can improve comparability between products, reduce uncertainty in purchasing or approval decisions, and strengthen quality control practices. It is especially useful when mileage is a key factor in evaluating value, efficiency, or production suitability, and when technical documentation needs to align with a shared ASTM standard.
