The recycled content of these materials is increasing with the emergence of novel technologies in paper industry. The printability tests on the recycled carton sheets dipped in recycled styrene-butadiene anti-shock for one minute, printed with the (GTO) four colors printing machine was studied, the following items were investigated. Density of ink of all printed colors, CIE LAB (International Commission on Illumination) for all printed colors, Dot gain percent of four colors on the papers, Light fastness: all of the printed sheets have a good result according to blue scale after exposure of sheets to 12 hours of light and Color strength (K/S).
