Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key benefits of using a specialised fount solution for heatset web presses?

A specialist heat set fountain solution like Trifount Gold HS is formulated for the specific demands of high-speed heat set web printing, maintaining stable ink-water balance, minimising emulsification, and supporting consistent print quality at the high press speeds and dryer temperatures of commercial heat set production.

How to choose the right dampening concentrate for high-speed heat set printing?

When choosing a dampening concentrate for heat set printing, consider press speed, dryer temperature, ink type, substrate, and whether IPA or an IPA substitute is used. Trifount Gold HS is specifically formulated for heat set web offset conditions. Triwill Group’s technical team can advise on the correct concentration and pH management for your press.

Best practices for maintaining fount solution quality in the pressroom?

Maintain fountain solution quality by regularly monitoring conductivity and pH, replacing the fount bath at recommended intervals, keeping the fount system clean and free from ink and paper contamination, and storing concentrate correctly. Triwill Group’s technical team can advise on fount management best practices for Trifount Gold HS.

How to reduce alcohol content in heatset offset printing operations?

Reducing or eliminating IPA in heat set offset printing requires a suitable alcohol-free or low-alcohol fountain solution. Triwill Group supplies Trifount Gold AF for printers looking to reduce IPA consumption. Contact our team for guidance on transitioning to reduced-alcohol pressroom chemistry.

Recommended dosage for fount concentrate in heatset applications?

The correct dosage for heat set fountain solution concentrate depends on the specific product and press conditions. Trifount Gold HS should be diluted to the concentration specified on the product data sheet, typically measured by conductivity. Triwill Group’s technical team can advise on the correct dosage and concentration management for your heat set press.
