Antura fount CS2
FOGRA approved coldset fountain solution additive
Antura fount CS2 is a fountain solution additive, buffered and specifically designed for coldset webs, particularly for newspaper printing.
Antura fount CS2 has been specially developed to reduce start-up waste. Antura fount CS2 maintains a stable pH even on poor quality
stock. Antura fount CS2forms a thin and even film for a more effective wetting of the plate. Antura fount CS2 avoids calcium build-up on the
blankets avoiding frequent machine stops.
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.
