    Hi THere,
    I am a novice in the field of printing and so have lots of questions to ask all of ya.
    To start with I would like to know what could be the problems that a printer can face using water of very high conductivity say like 1600 micro seimens. I have visit one of our customer who was using water of such high conductivity.
    Also if yall can suggest what addition we can do in the chemicals which can take care of such high conductivity it will be great help.
    Thanks to yall.

    AJ

    Hello

    If the harddnes of water is normal from 8 -14 to German scale, 2,5%-3% additives and alcohol 7%-9% then conductivity is around 1400-1600 micro S. The ph-value is around 5.

    Regards

    conductivity is relative to what kind of fountain solution is in use, so therfore what may be high for one type of fount additive may not be for another ,best to consult supplier for their advice on correct conductivity for your fountan solution.
    Hope this is of some help .
