WHY DOES FOUNTAIN SOLUTION DETERMINE 70% OF OFFSET PRINTING SUCCESS?
In Offset printing, the ink-water balance is a vital factor. Poor-quality fountain solutions not only cause ink emulsification but also damage rubber rollers and reduce plate life. Melchers Vietnam introduces the Melco Hydro Fount and Melco Fount Fix 951 product lines, pioneering solutions that empower printers with absolute control over their production process.

Specially designed for high-speed sheet-fed offset presses, this product integrates calcium-deposit prevention technology – the ultimate nightmare for any pressroom technician.
