Pressroom Printing Aids - For Fount
Solution Circuits:
Vegra SICCO-FOUNT 3700 (Fountain Solution Drier):
Used when the drying conditions for your ink are poor and for printing of
packings and matt coated papers and cartons.
3700 provides you with fast ink drying, better rub resistance and a higher
level of gloss, without contact yellowing or ghost images. Can also be
used without any problems even when using low odour inks for printing
packs.
The fact is that the addition of driers to the dampening water results in
quicker and better drying, with all the associated advantages:
o
Better rub resistance, higher gloss and quicker print finishing.
o
Does not cause any contact yellowing or ghost images.
o
Can also be used without any problems even when low odour is
the requirement for packaging.
Vegra Defoamer for Fountain Solution Circuits 29 00 01:
Solves every foaming problem in your dampening circuit with a minimum
dosage. Suitable for all of your fountain solution additives.
Vegra Fungicide Concentrate 29 00 08 (VP 9010):
Technical preservative with prompt effect for aqueous systems in storage
tanks. Strong bactericidal and fungicidal effect.
Vegra Aquadot Hardening Agent 25 00 10:
We recommend the use of Aquadot® Hardening Agent 25 00 10 in order
to adjust water from RO units to an optimal quality for printing. It is
neutral and will not assist corrosion or affect fount buffers.
InkCatchers:
The InkCatcher is a simple nylon
mesh bag filled with a special
absorbent material which will soak up
and remove emulsified ink from a
circulating solution of fountain etch, and
maintain its effectiveness longer.
In use the InkCatcher floats on the surface of fountain
solution and picks up floating and suspended ink. Simply place the
InkCatcher into your circulating tank reservoir, and watch it work!
When it becomes saturated, remove it and let it dry out to minimise the
weight then dispose of it.
Advantages of using InkCatchers:
o
Works with most inks even the new soy or vegetable based inks.
o
Reduces periodic dampening system maintenance by keeping
tank and rollers clean.
o
Minimises hazardous waste disposal costs associated with ink
contaminated fountain solution.
o
Does not absorb gum, salts or other fountain additives, so
composition of the fountain is not altered.
o
Helps maintain ink/water balance by stopping suspended ink from
migrating throughout the dampening system to the plate.
