Working instructions • • Mix the fountain solution and water at the desired concentration (reference mix). Measure the pH and the conductivity of your reference mix and working solution. pH latitude : 4,8 - 5,2 • Main characteristics Recommended dosage: 2 - 3% (depending on the hardness of water) • • • The optimum dosage will depend on the type of press, dampening system and water used on the press. For accurate dosing control the use of a • Thorough cleaning of the dosing and circulation system is highly recommended before using freshly mixed solution. • Water quality can have a strong effect on the printing quality. A total water hardness of 4-12° dH (degrees German hardness), is regarded as suitable for offset printing. Hard water increases the pH of the fountain solution. If the total water hardness is above 18°dH, use of water conditioning technology should be considered. Recommended for newspaper printing. Effective in all water types, especially designed for soft to medium hard water. • FOGRA approved for MAN Roland and KBA presses. conductivity meter is recommended. Remarks Suitable for web offset coldset presses. • • Maintains a stable pH. Provides faster, cleaner start-ups, therefore giving less paper waste. • Avoids over emulsification, resulting in higher ink densisty and brighter colours. • • • For all non-contact fountain systems.
