“It`s just like Unigraph”

“It’s just like Unigraph”
We at Unigraph International would like to
thank our competition for making us the
benchmark for pressroom chemistry.
When a major competitor recognizes that Unigraph
is the standard in the industry when it comes to
sheetfed pressroom chemicals by saying to its clients
that its fountain solution is “just like Unigraph’s,” then
perhaps we’re obliged to say “thank you.”
Ten proven reasons why there’s nothing
on the market today “just like Unigraph”
While we’re quite flattered, there are really no other
products out there today in our industry that are “just
like Unigraph.” Here are 10 specific reasons why:
1. We guarantee, in writing, a minimum ink
savings of 5%
2. Proven reduction of cost per impression
3. Prolonged life of any type of filtration system
4. Cleaner water tanks and cleaner trays
5. More stable conductivity
6. Less calcium contamination
7. Cleaner, sharper and more vibrant print
8. More stability with ink/water balance
9. Cleaner metering rollers, blankets and
impression cylinders
10.Faster drying time
Overall benefits of Unigraph Fountain
Solution
A good fountain solution is the lifeblood of an
optimized printing press, improving print quality
and reducing maintenance downtime. Unigraph has
industry-leading formulations ideal for commercial
sheetfed printing and large format packaging presses.
Major advantages of a good fountain solution include:
1. Formation of a protective film on the plate
surface to prevent oxidation
2. Exceptional colour control and stability
3. Lubrication of the printing blanket’s surface
4. Reduced ink consumption
5. Faster make-readies
6. Minimum waste
All this results in better print quality, less downtime,
less dumping of product, and a lower cost per
impression.

What our customers are telling us
“Rock solid colour reproduction…fountain solution
lasts longer than our competitors’…print quality is much
sharper than before and make-readies are significantly
faster.”
– Unigraph Senior Technical Rep Mark Thomas
“For me, the one word I hear over and over is ‘stability’
– which is a press operator’s best friend. Stable
and sharper print quality, along with gentler pH and
conductivity rises.
– Unigraph Senior Technical Rep Rick Wheeler
“I’m still amazed and grateful for all the
positive feedback we get after a customer
has switched to Unigraph chemistry.
We had a pressroom manager from a
very large boxboard company say it was
a ‘paradigm shift’ for him. Pressroom
chemistry is by far the lowest cost item in
the printing process but can have such
a huge impact on productivity and costs.
It’s fun for me when a purchaser (who
really put me through the ringer on price)
Unigraph V.P. of Tech
will find me on the pressroom floor and
Support Mike Thibault
actually thank me for explaining the cost
advantages of buying our products now that we’ve
been on press for a month or two! I’ve had several print
shop owners say ‘thank you for being persistent. My
pressmen never like making that kind of change. After
a few weeks of running it, they love it and don’t want to
use anything else.’ When we put product on press, the
proof, as they say, is in the pudding!”
– Mike Thibault
“Our focus is, and has always been, 100% on pressroom
chemistry. Our products are developed and formulated
with two very specific purposes for the printer:
1. Reduce the cost of the printed sheet.
2. To always try and improve print quality.
We accomplish these goals by
collaborating closely with the pulp
and paper industry, ink manufacturers,
plate manufacturers, roller and blanket
companies, press manufacturers, and
naturally, the printers themselves.
