Continuous-type dampening system: The Alcolor dampening system •
The variable speed (slippage) between the metering roller and the dampening form roller produces a very thin dampening solution film
•
This extremely thin dampening solution film is worked into the ink on the dampening form roller and into the inking unit and transferred with the printing ink to the printing plate
•
The ink/water balance is quickly achieved and remains constant
