For a successfull elimination of alcohol it necessary: Fountain Solution Cooling System, standardized water quality, appropriate adjustment of the rollers, eventually ceramic or special rollers. If standard rollers are in use the ductor speed might be increased considerable. This does not mean that more water is transfered and emulsified into the ink!
