Before applying VitaFount AlcoFree, the fountain system must be completely emptied and cleaned thouroughly, preferably with or BöttcherPro Slimex.
The more the IPA content is reduced, ink feedback and debris will increase and accumulate in the fount circulation system. Therefore, we recommend the fountain solution to be changed regularly, e. g. every two weeks. Use BöttcherPro Calcit as a rehardener for RO and soft water.
