FOUNTAIN SOLUTION SORBENT
The Fountain Solution Sorbent is a nylon mesh bag filled with special absorbent
material to soak up and remove ink from a circulating solution of fountain
etch to keep the solution clean.
The bag floats on the surface and picks up floating and suspended ink but
does not absorb gum, salts or other additives so the composition of the
fountain is not altered. It will pick up ink many times its own weight before
becoming saturated, and, even then, it will not sink. Helps prevent the
problems caused by suspended ink migrating throughout the dampening system
and eventually back to the plate.
