Varn protector Fount

[EyeTech]

Hi is anyone using Varn protector Fount solution?

Our incoming water supply ppm = 140

Our fount mix @ 5% gives us a conductivity reading of 700µs in the tank

No alcohol used at all

Our pressmen are telling me that the ink seems to be emulsifying even tho'  we drop the damp to the point of catching up, we're not getting clean startups either.

Have you changed anything - plates fount sol, ink

Only change we've made is remove alcohol, clean out pans and recirculator all as advised and refill using the new 'wonder' fount solution.

To be fair I think the pressmen need to get a few more jobs printed before we ditch the product.

I just wondered if anyone else had experience of this alcohol substitute.

We use Prisco products - no alcohol. No problems
