    • Depending on usage condition, add between 2% ~ 4% concentrate in water (20 ml ~ 40 ml concentrate in one litre of water).
    • Ideal dilution depends on press speed, type of dampening system, ink type and paper quality.
    • Use a freshly calibrated conductivity meter, for accurate dosing control. Ensure that the mixed fount solution is within ± 100 µs of the pre-determined mix.
    • Mechanical dosing devices for IPA are not recommended. Use an electronic dosing device for dosing IPA below 5%, for greater press stability.
    • To ensure optimum tray life, thoroughly clean the dosing, circulation and feeding systems with Fount System Cleaner and deglaze ink train and dampening rubber rollers, before charging freshly mixed solution.
    • Recommended IPA dosage: 0~5%
    • Storage & Handling : Protect from direct sunlight. Store at moderate temperatures in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep the containers tightly closed when not in use. The use of safety gloves is recommended.
    • Shelf-life : 12 months from the date of manufacture
    • Packing : 5, 10 & 20 litre
