Rycoline Green Diamond 251 Fountain Solution

Rycoline Green Diamond 251 Fountain Solution is a concentrated, two-part sheetfed fountain solution designed to work in conjunction with isopropyl alcohol or Rycoline Green Diamond AR (alcohol replacement). As the acid concentrate component of the system, the 251 provides the pH buffering and conductivity control essential for maintaining a stable, balanced dampening solution throughout the press run.

Properly diluted, the Green Diamond 251 delivers fast startups and clean restarts — reducing makeready waste and getting to sellable sheets quickly. Its formulation is optimized for use with conventional, hybrid, and UV ink systems, making it a versatile choice for commercial printers running mixed ink sets on a single press. The solution maintains optimal ink and water balance to minimize scumming, tinting, and emulsification issues that can compromise print quality during long runs.

When used as directed with alcohol or the Green Diamond AR alcohol replacement, the 251 creates a complete dampening system with controlled pH and conductivity for consistent performance across a wide range of paper stocks and press speeds.
