Lithographic printers do not need High VOC’s, Regulated Toxins or Hazardous Air Polutants to print.
Quite simply chemistry that contains or reqiuires these elements is BAD chemistry.

Just because pressroom chemistries once contained these components, it does not mean that you still need them to print. On the contary Amerikal chemistry outperforms that of yester year without compromising the safety of the press operator or final consumer.

Not all of our Pressroom Chemistry is listed on the website menu, here are a few of the other regulatory compliant pressroom chemicals we have available.

Anti Foam – VERY Highly Concentrated – 1 Capful will suppress the foam in a Fountain Solution Tank

Silicone – VERY Highly Concentrated – You pay for Silicone not additional water

The Next Generation of Blanket and Roller Cleaners..

Genesis® manufactures two low VOC Blanket Wash / Roller Wash / Press Washes, AW 2001-40 (Autowash 2001-40) and BRIGL (pronounced, BREEGUL). In an effort to eliminate petrochemical based raw materials, both utilize renewable resources grown on American farms. In fact, 90% of the raw materials in Brigl Wash are grown on American Farms. Both bio-based washes are extremely effective on cold set, heat set, UV & electron beam inks on both web and sheet fed presses. Just one of our press washes can clean blankets and rollers across the entire pressroom.

The Difference is Clear!

  • One press wash can be used throughout your entire facility to effectively clean cold set, heat set, and energy curable inks
  • Genesis Low VOC Press Wash / Roller Wash is manufactured using renewable resources grown on American farms, is non-hazardous and safer for your employees, community and prolongs the life of your press and rollers
  • When used in automatic systems the waste wash can be processed into bio-diesel used to fuel trucks and equipment
In 1989, Amerikal Products Corporation introduced Genesis, a full line of sustainable pressroom chemistries which includes fountain solutions and blanket and roller washes. Today, Genesis® continues to set the standard by developing innovative products that are easy to use, safer and more productive, resulting in lower overall costs.

Coldset Ink has never dried so fast

Work and turn in minutes not days with the fastest drying coldset ink

Genesis THINK™ – Thin Ink Technology

Who needs UV or IR when there’s Thin Ink Technology?

Would you like to turn down the spray powder, or turn off those lamps? Now it is possible with THINK™, the latest addition to the Genesis® line of press-room products.

Amerikal prides itself on doing things the right way so our contribution to the Ink market is no different. We have developed a high solids ink without solvents that works in combination with, not against the fountain solution.

Amerikal’s unique position as a fountain solution manufacturer allowed us to change the rules and co develop both Thin Ink and Genesis® fountain solution.
We have therefore ensured compatibility enabling us to achieve even thinner, more stable emulsions at the plate surface than was previously thought possible.

Genesis® fountain solution will not attack or bleed the ink, ensuring the printed image replicates the plate image precisely. This allows for significantly higher screen values and color brilliance.

THINK™ is not a petroleum based ink so does not rely on absorption into the substrate or evaporation to dry, resulting in minimal ink and fountain solution usage, never before imagined  in Lithographic Printing

SAVE YOUR ENERGY

You don’t need to energy cure for urgent jobs, using Genesis® & THINK™ you can print, and ship TODAY!

Filtration is part of the solution, but it does not address ink settling in the return lines. Many fountain solutions do not have effective biocides, so bacteria & algae grow in this nutrient rich system.

Dried Ink, color to opaque white, or black to yellow can be quite a challenge. Regular washes simply don’t cut it and you have to wash multiple times to eliminate residual color contamination. Not with Genesis® Roller Cleaning Paste! Our non-grit paste will clean and deglaze your rollers leaving them like new.

Don’t fight your own chemistry!

As Genesis® Roller Paste does not use talc as its binding agent, it therefore does not introduce calcium into the rollers so washes out easier and far quicker than the competition.

  • Enhancing Ink Transfer
  • Tack Reducer
  • Roller Lubricant
  • Ink film stability enhancer
  • Anti-Skin
  • Roll-Up Aid

Transfer is the Key!

With high solid inks dominating the energy curable market many presses struggle to transfer the pigment down the ink train.

In fact, you will find that with the damps off many inks struggle to transfer at all.

Try it yourself, turn off the damps… after an initial flood, the color will simply fade away. Mix in 1/8 – 1/4 oz of VEA per pound of ink & you will be amazed how transfer returns. Even with normal printing see how much deeper and vibrant your colors are.

Web presses can be a beast to get running, especially if you have wet tacky ink on the blankets. However, a quick spray with VEA makes restart web breaks and wrapups due to ink, a thing of the past.

Unlike other lubricants VEA is fully compatible with press inks, so restarts are far cleaner significantly reducing restart waste.

Genesis® MDAT – The Isopropanol Alcohol Replacement .

Due to its rapid evaporation, alcohol has been the cleaning solution of choice for 2 piece can and Metal Deco printers across the board. However, as you probably already know it’s a very poor cleaner. Operators use copious quantities of alcohol, to soak & dilute the ink, flushing it away through sheer volume.

Now printers have a choice!

MDAT has been developed to not only evaporate fast, but is also a far superior cleaner. Using only a fraction of the amount previously used, MDAT will thoroughly clean your fountains and rollers significantly reducing the amount of solvent and rags required.

The Challenge

Develop a line of regulatory compliant fountain solution that would work with;
Coldset, heatset, energy curable inks as well as modern plate technology, & all substrates including film.

The Solution

A “NON” solvent based fountain solution, that instead of dissolving the ink and absorbing into the substrate, will work with the ink to provide a finer emulsion, sharper dots, and be compatible with modern plate technology.

Remarkable Results

Savings up to and exceeding..

Less Dot Gain

The Reason is Simple

By having the fountain solution work with the ink
rather than against it, you…

“USE LESS”

Less Fountain Solution = Less Ink

Less Ink = Less dot gain

Less Water = Less Heat / Power to Dry

 

Genesis® Fountain Solution

Genesis Fountain Solution
Genesis® fountain solution is proven to reduce ink drying time, allowing for faster processing. Reduce dot gain allows for higher screen values, and Increased ink mileage. Add this to faster roll ups, lowering paper waste, and you can see why our customers stay our customers.
