The Akron range, according to Milind Kale, manager business development - chemicals, TechNova Imaging Systems, is the next gen series of fountain solutions that will benefit the printers to achieve a perfect balance between the quality and safety in their pressrooms.
Kale said, “The Akron range of IPA reducing / eliminating fountain solution consists of, Fogra approved, ultra-low foaming fountain solutions that are designed for sheet fed offset presses with alcohol and integrated dampening systems. The range is 100% compatible with all TechNova plates and it is suited for all popular machine configurations with different water conditions."
Since its inception, the Akron range of fountain solutions have met the requirements of quality conscious printers across India.
TechNova’s Akron range of fountain solution includes Akron Gold CFIA which is designed to work with zero to four per cent isopropanol, depending upon the machine configuration; Akron Diamond which is designed to work with four to six per cent isopropanol and isopropanol substitute; and the ultra low foaming fountain solution, Akron Gold, which is designed to work with six to ten per cent isopropanol or isopropanol substitutes.
The Akron range incorporates the benefit of stability and quality output in one single package. It offers controlled wetting with zero foam and it is compatible with both IPA and IPA substitute product like TechNova’s AlcoZAP. The biocidal system of Akron range also assures longer bath life.
Kale, says, “The most important benefit is that it reduces the use of chemicals in the pressroom, making the workplace safer and greener. Printers can be assured that by switching to Akron range of fountain solutions they can maintain their current quality levels without any compromises.”
“The Akron range is designed to keep the pressroom hassle-free by offering the printer a never before ‘Dose and Forget’ comfort, with its exceptional wetting stability and high level of plate protection, at a low cost-in-use. This allows printers to focus on producing high-quality prints, rather than being bogged down with ink-water balance”, Kale added.
“The Akron range of fountain solutions is manufactured in the same state-of-the-art facility where TechNova’s plates are manufactured. As a result of this, the research and development teams for plates and chemicals, work jointly and ensure that both are totally compatible, and are manufactured with the highest quality standards that TechNova customers are used to.” said Kale.
