By speeding surface drying, "ink set-off" is reduced, jobs turn over faster, with less chance of smudging and streaking and there's overall reduction or elimination of the use of spray powder. The use of Ink Drying Stimulator can speed up production schedules, particularly on jobs where ink drying is a problem
Anti-Skinning Aerosol
Ink-Readi is a formulation of antioxidants which apply a protective film against ink skinning on rollers, in fountains or in cans. This is a professional product and will not change the color, consistency or drying speed of any offset or letterpress inks - even when trapping ink on the fourth color. Spray on ink rollers and ink fountain when the press is down for make-ready, lunch break and overnight. Spray new rubber to reduce oxidation, as well as roller ends to prevent glaze, friction and cracking. Ink-Readi does not contain wax.

Removes Calcium Build-up From Rollers and Blankets
Varn's Calcium Eliminator answers the problem of eliminating calcium build-up caused by hard water and the increased use of alkaline papers.
