Rycoline Green Diamond 251 Fountain Solution

Rycoline Green Diamond 251 is a concentrated fountain solution formulated for offset lithographic printing on sheetfed and web offset presses. Green Diamond 251 is designed to maintain stable pH and conductivity in the dampening system, supporting clean plate running, good ink-water balance, and consistent dampening performance across a wide range of press speeds, ink types, and paper stocks. The stable chemistry helps prevent common fountain-related problems including ink emulsification, scumming, toning, and plate blinding.

A high-quality fountain solution is foundational to offset print quality. The fountain solution must maintain the correct pH range to keep non-image areas of the plate water-receptive while allowing ink to adhere cleanly to image areas. Rycoline Green Diamond 251 is formulated to provide this selective wetting consistently, even as conditions in the dampening system change over the course of a press run. Stable conductivity levels in the fountain solution also help prevent plate corrosion and support consistent dot reproduction from sheet to sheet or roll to roll.

Green Diamond 251 is supplied as a concentrate and is mixed with water to achieve the correct working dilution for your press and dampening system. As with all fountain solutions, follow the manufacturer’s mixing instructions and regularly monitor pH and conductivity in the dampening system to maintain optimal press performance.
