• All fountain solutions lose strength over time due to contamination 
  (some sooner than others). One of the major causes of weakened 
  fountain solution is the build-up of calcium carbonate from paper 
  fillers. As calcium carbonate builds up within the fountain solution 
  system, it neutralizes and weakens the solution. This contamination 
  can cause a variety of press issues, including the filling in of reverses 
  and fine screen, image blinding, and uneven wetting. As a result the 
  fountain solution has to be dumped and replenished prematurely, 
  costing you time and money.
  
  Now you can control these issues and extend the life and 
  performance of your fountain solution. Etch Control suspends 
  built-up calcium within the fountain solution, allowing you to 
  produce sharp, clean halftones, reverses, and screens. It also 
  runs metallic inks with the easy of conventional inks, reduces 
  water settings, prints dense solids, and helps to eliminate 
  ghosting. Etch Control stops scratches, scumming, and oxidation 
  before they occur and removes them if they do occur.
  
  Advantages:
  - Suspends built-up calcium within the fountain solution
  - Cleans and desensitizes the plate on every revolution of the 
    plate cylinder
  - Runs metallic inks with the easy of conventional inks
  - Stops scratches, scumming, and oxidation
  - Keeps reverses razor sharp and fine screens clean
  
  Recommendations for use:
  Dosage: 0.8% per liter of mixed fountain solution. If necessary 
  increase up to 1.6% of volume in water circulation system.
  
  For permanent removal of deep scratches during the print run: 
  Add an additional 0.8% Etch Control to the fountain solution system. 
  Remove the ink from the scratch on the plate, using a regular 
  plate cleaner. Pour Etch Control onto a clean shop towel, wipe 
  onto the scratch on the plate. Using it directly on the plate will 
  keep the deep scratch clean until Etch Control takes over in the 
  fountain solution.
