Fountain Solutions
Premium fountain solutions engineered for optimal ink-water balance across sheetfed, heatset, and coldset offset printing presses.
Overview
Practical chemistry for better control.
Falcon fountain solutions are formulated with advanced wetting agents and buffering systems that maintain consistent ink-water balance across long press runs. Our chemistries reduce surface tension for superior plate wetting while preventing emulsification, scumming, and tinting. Available in standard, alcohol-reduced, and IPA-free variants to match your environmental and operational goals.
Key Benefits
Superior print quality with consistent color density across the entire press run
Faster startup times with immediate ink-water balance achievement from the first sheet
Reduced paper waste from fewer hickeys, scumming, and plate-related issues
Extended press stability with wide operating latitude for press operators
Lower total cost of ownership through reduced alcohol consumption and waste
Compatible with all plate types including thermal, violet, and conventional
