NOVA FOUNT 2020 – SHEETFED PRINTING FOUNTAIN SOLUTION

OVERVIEW

A high-tech, high performance fount ain solution with crs*  for today’s generation of high speed web-offset and sheet-fed presses.

It is easy to install , easy to use, problem-solving product, which addresses all commonly encountered damping problems.

Nova Fount 2020 runs at low water settings with wide latitude, making it easy to set-up and adjusts for optimum performance with different inks, papers and damping systems. Plates and blankets show ultra -thin water films that remain continuous for complete desensitisation.

Water uptake by the ink is tast but controlled for lightning quick attainment of the perfect ink/water balance with excellent over-emulsification resistance.

PROPERTIES

Nova Fount 2020 enables isopropanol usage to be easily reduced by 50% with no noticeable loss of performance and no special operational requirements.  Provide reduced costs, improved environmental impact and low isopropanol vapour levels without sacrificing time or increasing waste.

Gives complete calcium control at all levels of water hardness and all paper and ink types. Calcium deposits on roll ers and blankets are completely eliminated with Nova Fount 2020

• Dependable is safe on all metal plates and is free from harmful components.
• Suitable for all water types whether RO, soft, hard or de-ionised. The powerful cleaning agents present in the fount willprevent the build up of impuritiesand films, previously hard to control in tanks and pipeworks.
• lncludes ultra low foam formulation that removes problems associated with previous generations of strongly wetting fountain solutions.

APPLICATION

Nova fount 2020 is recommended 1, 5 % starting dosage if the water is hard it can be increase up to 3%.

The optimum dosage will vary with the type of press dampening system, water and work being printed and can only be arrived at after some experimentationand experience.

Water quali ty can have a strong effect on the printing quality. A total water hardness of 8-10•   dH (degrees German hardness), is regarded as suitable tor offset printing. Hard water increases the pH of the fountain solution. lf the total water hardness is above 14′ dH (> 250 ppm CaC03), use of water conditioning technology should be considered.
