Manual
Mix between 30 ml and 180 ml (1 oz to 6 oz) of UNI ALCOFOUNT-1 with 4 liters (1 gallon) of dampening solution. The exact dosage will depend on your dampening system, your fountain solution and your ink. Presses functioning with a high percentage of alcohol will require a higher dosage of UNI ALCOFOUNT-1.
