The present invention provides a newspaper printing ink that has rub off resistance; is fast drying on the paper; does not mist or dry on the press; offers excellent printability, high color strength, good water balance, and sharp half tone reproduction; and is relatively inexpensive. The present invention provides an ink concentrate suitable for preparing the printing ink, the ink concentrate comprising a colorant having a particle size of from about 0.01 .mu.m to about 25 .mu.m, a hydrocarbon resin, and a binder resin selected from the group consisting of a polyamide-oil polymer and a polyester-oil polymer. The present invention further provides a printing ink comprising a colorant having a particle size of from about 0.01 .mu.m to about 25 .mu.m, a vegetable oil, a polyamide-oil polymer, and a styrene-acrylic copolymer. The present invention further provides a printing ink comprising a naphthenic oil, a colorant having a particle size of from about 0.01 .mu.m to about 25 .mu.m, a hydrocarbon resin, and a polyester-oil polymer. The present invention further provides a continuous process for preparing the ink and the ink concentrate.
