Isopropyl Alcohol alters the viscosity and flow characteristics of water; solutions without alcohol do not flow as well

and will need less nip pressure between the rollers. Alcohol is a solvent that dilutes the ink, and when running with

an alcohol replacement fount less ink and water should be required to produce acceptable colour. Alcohol reduces

surface tension of the dampening solution. Surface tension is the microscopic attractive force between liquid

molecules that makes water form a droplet When this force is reduced by alcohol. the droplet “relaxes”, and the

same volume of water will spread thinner to cover a greater area of the plate. This spreading is sometimes referred

to, quite correctly, as wetting.

Since alcohol is used in such a high concentration, usually around 10% the alcohol molecules are abundant and will

migrate very quickly to the surface of the water, which is where we need their surface tension-reducing abilities. This

can be important with a high speed dynamic process like printing.

Because alcohol evaporates so readily, it reduced the amount of fountain solution carried across to the stock and also

to the ink, evaporating swiftly because of the mechanical heat generated during printing. Alcohol slightly increases

the fountain solution viscosity (or body), which gives a thinner more uniform film allowing the press operator better

control over the dampening system.

Alcohol is mild ink solvent, inhibiting ink build up and feedback into the fountain duct.

Biocidal activity of alcohol helps to prevent the growth of fungus, bacteria and mold which can block hoses and

filters, shift pH, destroy desensitizers, and contaminate rollers.

The surface activity of alcohol as it evaporates interferes with foam formation, and will also break any bubbles

already formed. Even at the low concentrations around 10% used in printing it is reasonable anti foam.
