Japan: Too little ink after earthquake - Less ink in newspapers
Newspapers with fewer pages and less color - this is also a consequence of the earthquake in Japan. A week and a half after the disaster, Japanese newspapers are apparently running out of ink.
Manufacturers called on newspapers to reduce the number of pages and print fewer color images. According to reports from the television station NHK on Tuesday, there are shortages of an important ingredient because some chemical companies in north-eastern Japan were destroyed in the earthquake and tsunami on March 11.
If the situation does not change, printers will run out of ink within a month. (sda)
