Fountain solutions

Sharper, crisper print at high press speeds requires a special balance of fount chemistry.


ALPHA CLEAR FOUNT ALPHA CLEAR FOUNT is formulated for use on cloth covered dampening systems for presses running up to 8000 impressions per hour and presses equipped with alcohol dampening systems running up to 15,000 IPH. ALPHA CLEAR FOUNT is strongly buffered and is suitable for hard water up to 100°d hardness.
ALPHA orange FOUNT ALPHA ORANGE FOUNT is an alchohol free, sheet fed fount.

ALPHA NEWSFOUNT Newspaper fountain solution suitable for conventional, spray, brush and TURBO dampening systems. Fast start-ups, zero foaming, resists fungal growth. Fogra tested and approved. Corrosion approved for MAN web presses. Available in 200L, 1000L.
AFN 28 FOUNT Heatset web offset fountain solution developed for high-speed presses. Designed to run alcohol-free on Dahlgren dampening systems,especially MAN presses. Not classified as flammable. Available in 200L,1000L.
heatset 2000 Heatset 2000 AF Fountain Solution has been formulated as a dampening additive concentrate for high-speed heatset printing using tap water of less than 10° dH hardness.

Heatset 2000 AF Fountain Solution is formulated for high speed heatset presses such as MAN machinery that use integrated dampening systems.

Heatset 2000 can successfully be used in alcohol reduction and elimination.

The surface tension of a 2-3% solution of Heatset 2000 AF Fountain Solution has been optimised to ensure maximum delivery of dampening solution to the plate, giving superior wetting. This translates to lower water settings and fine control of water feed to the plate and minimal build up on the pan and slip rollers, thus reducing ink feed back into the fountain system.

Heatset 2000 AF Fountain Solution provides a rapid ink water balance and fast plate wetting which results in fast press start ups and hence keeps paper waste to a minimum.

Heatset 2000 AF Fountain Solution has sufficient preservatives to keep the fountain system free from fungus, slime and algae even in hot pressroom conditions (If the fountain system is already heavily contaminated refer to GSB’s System Cleaner).
