Summary:
The Laboratory has applied physico-chemical methods to test fountain solutions in which the surface tension has been reduced with isopropanol or surfactants. The objective was to replace isopropanol by commercial additive of fountain solutions. The compatibility of some systems - printing inks and fountain solutions - has been outlined on a pilot scale. Full-scale printing tests have been made to evaluate the practical possibility of replacing IPA.
