Summary:

The S.D. Warren Paper Company and the Flint Ink Corporation conducted a joint project to study the effects of the water pick-up of inks, the ink set time of papers, and acid versus alkaline fountain solutions on printability. The project used experimental design techniques. The effects of ink, paper, and fountain solution were examined for gloss, percent trap, print quality, and effect on water setting on the press for optimum performance.
