Frequently Asked Questions

What is fountain solution?

Fountain solution is the water-based chemistry used in offset lithographic printing to dampen the non-image areas of the plate, keeping them ink-free. It maintains the critical ink-water balance that makes offset printing work, and correct fountain chemistry is essential to print quality.

What fountain solutions does TriWill supply?

TriWill Group supplies the TRIFOUNT Gold range: heatset (GOLD-HS), coldset (GOLD-CS), sheetfed (GOLD-SF), sheetfed platinum (PLATINUM-SF), and alcohol-free (GOLD-AF) fountain solutions, covering every offset press type.

What is the difference between heatset, coldset, and sheetfed fountain solution?

Each is formulated for a specific offset process: heatset for web presses with dryers, coldset for cold-set web (such as newspaper), and sheetfed for sheetfed presses. Each has different requirements for water balance, drying, and press conditions.

What is alcohol-free fountain solution?

Alcohol-free fountain solution eliminates or greatly reduces isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in the dampening system, reducing VOC emissions and improving workplace air quality. TriWill offers TRIFOUNT-GOLD-AF for printers reducing or eliminating alcohol.

How do I choose the right fountain solution?

The right fountain solution depends on your press type, water hardness, inks, and substrates. Contact TriWill Group and our technical team will recommend the correct TRIFOUNT product and dosing for your operation.
