Alcohol Substitutes & Fount Additives
Prisco Alkaless® alcohol substitutes are alcohol extenders and eliminators that contain blanket-piling inhibitors. They work in combination with two-step fountain concentrates to produce specific wetting performance characteristics for optimum reproduction. Alkaless alcohol substitutes offer a superior alternative to printing with alcohol (IPA):
- Non-flammable
- More economical than isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
- Achieve better print gloss than with IPA
- Print sharper than IPA
- Have no effect on conductivity
- Eliminate metering roller “streaks”
