- Product Benefits
- Plate and fountain solutions prepared with Pressgum 3550 can be made with high solids concentrations.
- This maximizes densensitizing levels with minimal water use.
- Pressgum 3550 is functional over a wide pH range.
- This allows its use in both neutral and acid fountain solutions.
- Images remain sharp due to Pressgum 3550's film forming and adhesion properties.
- Filtration steps can be avoided because solutions made with Pressgum 3550 are free of foreign mater and are residue free.
