    Traditionally information has been printed on paper, but it is now delivered by a variety of media including broadcast radio and TV, but more recently and importantly, by the Internet, especially via mobile phone and broadband. The information revolution is likely to continue through the 21st century. In this paper I describe XML (eXtensible Markup Language) technology-the technology that structures text with tags and assigns style sheet to text so that information can be appropriately displayed in various media-and discuss related current trends, including NewsML, Rozettanet, XBRL and other standardization schemes. I also describe business trends in the printing industries.

  • On the Newsprint Recycling in Japan

    The newsprint recycling in Japan, overviewed in this paper, has been expanded constantly in last twenty years. The average recycling ratio of newspaper to the newsprint production in 2002 has reached about 76%, which is higher than the paper recycling ratio, 60%, to whole paper productions. The newsprint recycling ratio in Japan could almost met the maximum level because the collecting ratio of newspaper without fliers can be estimated to be about 80-90%. Therefore, it would hardly rise so rapidly in recycled fiber content any further. Another constraint for raising recycled fiber content to newsprint especially in Japan should be high quality requirements from domestic newsprint pressrooms. Not merely runnability but also pritability, including the capability for achieving high graphic quality, is required even for the newsprint grades with high recycled fiber content, so that it should be necessary for newsprint manufacturers to develop and introduce new technologies in order to maintain such qualities.
