Posted by Charlie Downs on
Accurate fountain solution testing helps offset printers maintain consistent press performance. Learn how a BOSS Refractometer can help check the concentration of freshly mixed fountain solution, why readings must be calibrated to the specific concentrate, and how refractometry compares with pH and conductivity testing. Discover the limitations of testing used fountain solution and practical steps for more reliable measurements.
