A newspaper format describes the standardized dimensions of a newspaper that has not been opened, specified in width by height (in short: W \u00d7 H). The size refers to the size of the paper side. The print area, however, can vary depending on the newspaper. The width of the columns, too, can vary. Common formats are e.g. B. 45 mm (one column), 90-95 mm (two columns) or 185 mm (four columns).<\/span><\/p>\n

Newspaper formats vary considerably around the world, not only from country to country but also within a country. In Germany alone there were around 60 different paper formats for newspaper printing in the 1970s. DIN 16604, which was laid down in 1973, was intended to “facilitate cooperation between the advertising industry and newspaper publishers and printing companies when placing advertisements and lead to a uniform usage of language with regard to dimensions.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In some countries, certain formats are also associated with certain types of newspapers. In Great Britain, for example, a distinction is made between \u201ctabloid\u201d and \u201cbroadsheet\u201d, which is also to be assessed as a reference to the quality of the newspaper content, since the tabloid press prefers the tabloid format.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Germany, on the other hand, the most common formats differ according to their regional origin, such as the Berlin format (315 x 470 mm), the Rhenish format (350 \u00d7 510 mm) and the Nordic format (400 \u00d7 570 mm).<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the high format variability and the different nature of the templates, the digitization of newspapers poses great challenges for scanning systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newspapers can be available as individual editions, but depending on the frequency of publication they are often bound in thick monthly, quarterly or annual volumes, which are extremely heavy and unwieldy.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to ensure a productive and at the same time user-friendly scanning process, scanning systems should have short scanning and exposure times as well as user-friendly, motor-driven book cradle and pressure systems that enable ergonomic work.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
