Fount iT

Fount iT, is a range of premium alchohol-reducing fountain solutions for sheetfed presses.

Features & Benefits

• Free of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
• Contains ‘Total Calcium Control’ technology, which gives complete calcium control at all levels of water hardness. Ensures complete removal of calcium deposits from rollers and blankets.
• Ultra-low foaming formulation that removes problems associated with previous generations of strongly wetting fountain solutions.
• Compatible with all water types, whether RO, soft, hard or deionised.
• Designed to keep the water on press within the ideal pH range. pH may vary slightly with different water qualities but within the ideal range for modern lithography.
• Fast clean-up and roll-up even at high ambient temperatures. Plates will remain open on press during press stoppages even at high ambient temperatures.
• Gives ultra-fast clean-up and rapid attainment of ink/water balance.
• Runs at low water settings with a wide latitude, making it easy to set-up and easy to adjust for optimum performance with different inks, papers and dampening systems. Reduces paper wastage.
• Biocidal system designed to counter bacterial bio-film. Formadehyde-free

Usage Instructions

Dilution Ration: The recommended dosing of 2% (20ml per litre) adequately ensures full benefits. Dilution may be optimised within the range of 2% ~ 4% (20ml ~ 40ml per litre) depending on usage conditions. For accurate dosing control of buffered fountain solutions, use of a conductivity meter is essential. Always ensure that the mixed fount solution is within ± 100 microsiemens of the pre-determined 2% mix. Thorough cleaning of the dosing, circulation and feeding systems with Fount System Cleaner is highly recommended prior to charging freshly mixed solution to ensure optimum tray life.

Special Instructions

Shelf-life: 12 months from the date of manufacture.

Precautions: Fount iT has very high cleaning properties. Therefore, if the dampening system pipework is dirty, it will be cleaned up by Fount iT, causing the dirt to appear in the dampening chiller roller reservoir This is normal and continued use of Fount iT will keep the tank(s) and pipe work completely clean.
