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”

Prisco also offers a number of additives to add to or modify certain fountain solution characteristics.
