Fountain Solutions
AGFA develops fountain solutions in their FOGRA compliant laboratory in Belgium. There experienced chemists use their knowledge of plate compositions to develop compatible fountain solutions. AGFA offers a wide range of fountain solutions for a wide spectrum of applications. Sheetfed fountain solutions for printing with reduced IPA dosage or even totally alcohol free are developed to work with every AGFA plate on the market. Specific fountain solutions are manufactured for high speed newspaper and heatset presses. For small presses, big presses, printing at low speed, printing at high speed, sheetfed or rotation…AGFA offers fountains for almost every need.
>> Sheetfed alcohol reduction (4-8% IPA)

Prima FS303 SF
FOGRA approved general purpose offset fountain solution additive for printing with alcohol on sheet-fed presses. Prima FS303 SF is suitable for all type of dampening systems. It is gum free and has a balanced pH. Prima FS303 SF gives very good plate protection and has a powerful wetting capability that maintains an excellent ink/water balance at reduced water feed settings
Available in 10L, 20L and 200LRC63
Business forms fountain solution additive with excellent wetting characteristics which make it particularly suitable for use on small sheet-fed and business forms web offset presses. It avoids tone problems on small offset presses and gives fast start-up, helping to minimise paper wastage. Suitable for all types of dampening systems in small sheet-fed and business forms web offset presses.
Available in 10L and 20LPrima FS605
Gum free general purpose fountain solution additive. It has good wetting characteristics and at the same time produces a more viscous film of water onto the plate. This will eliminate problems associated to ink feedback and ink piling. The ink/water balance is achieved quickly, reducing paper waste. Compatible with non contact dampening systems such as spiral brushes, spray bars and turbo. Also suited for UV printing.
Available in 10L and 200LRC661
RC661 is a gum free fountain solution additive suitable for all types of dampening systems. It has a balanced pH for use in sheet-fed offset applications. RC661 gives very good plate protection and maintains an excellent ink/water balance at reduced water feed settings

Prima FS808 AF
FOGRA approved fountain solution additive for alcohol free printing for sheet-fed offset. Prima FS808 AF can be used to print completely alcohol free or with a very low amount of alcohol (max. 4%). Prima FS808 AF has proven a very good plate protection and a powerful wetting capacity enabling a good ink/water balance at reduced water feed settings.
Available in 20L and 200L
Coldset
Prima FS105 News
FOGRA approved fountain solution additive, buffered and specifically designed for coldset webs, particularly for newspaper printing. Prima FS105 News maintains a stable pH even on poor quality stock. Prima FS105 News forms a thin and even film for a more effective wetting of the plate. Prima FS105 News avoids calcium build-up on the blankets avoiding frequent machine stops
Available in 20L, 200L and 1000L
