FOUNTAIN SOLUTIONS ALCOHOL REPLACEMENTS
AR-1
Tower AR-1 is the first "drop in" replacement for isopropyl alcohol that can actually ENHANCE printing quality.
Unlike IPA, which actually reduces ink gloss and prolongs drying time, AR-1 allows stronger solids, sharper dots, and improved trapping while accelerating drying.
Best of all, AR-1 works great with any of our MILLENNIUM brand fountain solutions,and
requires no equipment changes or additional expense. In fact, AR-1 will actually help your plant REDUCE costs by decreasing ink consumption and eliminating the need for special storage and handling precautions that alcohol requires.

DYNAMIC ARP
The newest addition to the Tower technology family, DYNAMIC ARP is designed to increase the viscosity of water, and lower the dynamic surface tension of press ready fountain solution.
A superb wetting agent and water conditioner, DYNAMIC ARP can be used at very low dosage ratios versus traditional alcohol substitutes. When used in conjunction with MILLENNIUM GOLD,MILLENNIUM SF or MILLENNIUM FMP, the combination is highly effective on difficult to run integrated dampening systems, especially the Alcor system.
Best of all, this two step product combination will allow the printer to reduce water roller speeds, decrease ink consumption for better ink/water balance control, and improve print contrast and dot gain. This is the new standard in high quality, sheetfed lithography!

MILLENNIUM GOLD
MILLENIUM GOLD is a high technology fountain solution specifically formulated to run well with difficult integrated dampening systems, especially the the Alcolor system. The product increases the viscosity of the water on the non-image area of the plate, which allows water settings to be reduced.
MILLENNIUM GOLD will allow the printer greater control of his ink/water balance, which will improve dot gain and print contrast for higher quality printing. The product was developed to be used with DYNAMIC ARP as a two step system, or it can be used at a higher dilution as a one step fountain solution.
