FOUNTAIN SOLUTIONS

Webfount™ Fountain Solution Concentrates  are one-step alcohol-eliminating solutions designed for use on web offset presses.  The products have been formulated to increase press operating latitude with today’s printing substrates and ink formulations. Printing plants will see significant measurable increases in productivity due to faster make-ready times and reduced unplanned spoilage. In addition, our customers have seen overall quality improvements in their runs after switching to Webfount formulas. All formulas have broad buffering capabilities making them suitable for most water conditions.

Spectrum™ Fountain Solution Concentrate is a one-step alcohol-eliminating fountain solution concentrate designed for use on sheetfed presses. It combines proven fountain solution technology in an easy to use phosphate-free and heavy-metal-free concentrate. A "universal" formula, its strong buffer system permits use in all waters. It is especially effective when printing with offset plates that require a higher level of desensitization in the non-image area or when there are frequent press re-starts.


Questar™ One-Step Fountain Solution Concentrate for use on sheetfed presses without the need for additional alcohol replacements.  It is specially designed to have minimal adverse effect on the image area of baked or un-baked CTP and positive printing plates.  It combines the latest innovations in fountain technology in an easy to use concentrate.  A "Universal" formula, its strong buffer system permits use in all waters.  It is especially effective in eliminating alcohol on continuously dampened presses.

2000 Series Fountain Solution Concentrates - are phosphate-free fountain concentrates designed for use on sheetfed presses. They may be used in conjunction with alcohol or alcohol substitutes. The PRISCO® 2000 SERIES contains alcohol replacement compounds and non-piling additives. Therefore, the series permits substantial reduction in alcohol consumption without significant changes in roller settings, regardless of dampening system. Total alcohol elimination may require the addition of a PRISCO ALKALESS® alcohol substitute.

2000 PLUS 2 Series Concentrates - designed to run on sheetfed presses without the addition of alcohol or alcohol substitutes.  The Prisco® 2000 Plus 2 Series contains alcohol replacement compounds and non-piling additives.  The series includes product with characteristics suitable for all press ink, paper and incoming water conditions.

3551 Plus 2 Fountain Solution Concentrate - a one-step fountain solution concentrate designed for use on sheetfed presses. It combines the latest innovations in fountain technology in an easy to use concentrate. A "universal" formula, its strong buffer system permits use in all waters. It is especially effective in eliminating alcohol on continuously dampened presses. Use 7 to 10 ounces of PRISCO 3551 Plus 2 in each gallon of water. Once optimum level has been determined, measure conductivity for use as a reference when preparing fresh batches of press-ready fountain solution.

SFK Series Fountain Concentrates - designed to run alcohol-free on sheetfed presses with continuous dampening systems. SFK-1 is a one-step fountain solution concentrate, which may be used without additional additives. SFK-2 is a two-step concentrate, which is usually combined with a Prisco Alkaless alcohol substitute for continuous dampening systems.

H-8 Series One-Step Fountain Solution Concentrates - "all purpose" one-step formulas designed for alcohol-free use on sheet-fed and heatset web presses equipped with brush and continuous dampening systems.

FOUNTAIN SOLUTION ADDITIVES

 

FOUNTAIN CONCENTRATES FOR DUPLICATOR AND  ELECTROSTATIC PLATE APPLICATIONS:  Besides the formulas developed for polyester plate applications, Prisco has specific products for other printing plates used with duplicator type presses.  Electrostatic Fountain Concentrate for paper and polyester electrostatic plates and Universal 3™ are examples of these application-specific products.

ALKALESS® ALCOHOL REPLACEMENTS - The Alkaless Series is a group of products that are alcohol eliminators/extenders and blanket piling inhibitors, designed for use in lithographic dampening systems.  They were developed to work with all fountain solutions but will perform best with the proper Prisco fountain solution concentrate.  Additional advantages include: reduced ink consumption; cleaner, sharper printing (run with less water); minimal blanket piling; and  no replenishment required.

PRISCO PREPARATION N PLUS™- is used in the fountain to help prevent particles of paper coating and slitter dust from adhering to the blanket, causing “hickeys” and blanket glazing.

PRISCO FOUNTAIN ADDITIVE AND PLATE CLEANER - When added to the fountain, this product is especially effective. in keeping reverses open and when running metallic inks.  The additive is also useful for removal of dried, hardened gum from stored plates.

PRISCO GUM ARABIC - Gum Arabic is sometimes added to a fountain mixture to increase plate wetting and prevent scumming.  It may also be used for plate storage for some plate types.  Our 100% pure stabilized; non-souring solutions are available in 8º, 10º and 14º Baume versions. 

PRISCO FOUNTAIN DRIER - Fountain Drier may be added to the fountain solution to reduce ink-setting time, which will result in, reduced smearing and set-off by adding it to the fountain solution rather than the ink; the ink does not dry rapidly in the fountain.

PRISCO FUNGUS ARRESTER - Fungus Arrester is available for situations where abnormal biological growth is present.  Prisco recommends regular maintenance of your fountain and recirculation systems to prevent biological growth (See Prisco Royal Flush).


A unique one step alcohol-free fountain solution that provides superior results with metal, silver and CTP plates.
