The simple water management in a press is :
Test and continue to monitor your incoming water .
Work with your fountain concentrate supplier to get a good match for your water .
Use the recommended dilution .
Do not meddle with the fount by adding additives .
Though traditional methods still continue , brush dampening , spray dampening are also catching up the imagination of the printers .
Our sincere thanks are due to the machine manufacturers who are continually developing new concepts in the dampening assemblies in their respective products .

We are all familiar with the problems surrounding ink cartridges . They are expensive , bad for the environment and just when you want to print that important document , your cartridge runs out of ink . Thanks to the startup company ' Inkless ', a spin-off of the Delft University of Technology ( TU Delft ) and part of the incubator YES ! Delft , these problems are now definitely a thing of the past . ' Inkless ' has developed a worldwide patented technology with which you can print in black-white without the use of ink cartridges , toners or other consumables . ‘ Every year 14 billion dollars worth of black ink cartridges and toners are sold worldwide . Our technology makes these cartridges and toners completely obsolete ,’ says co-founder Arnaud van der Veen . “ With ink less printing , we can completely turn the print market upside down .”
