Apparatus and Method for Conditioning Dampening Solution for an Offset Printing Press, Dampening System and Offset Printing Press

摘要

An apparatus and a method for conditioning dampening solution for an offset printing press, include a cation exchanger for the removal of salt-forming ions from the dampening solution. The operation of the cation exchanger leaves the pH of the dampening solution unchanged. The apparatus includes a control device based on measuring the water hardness of the dampening solution for the supply of the dampening solution to the cation exchanger. A dampening system and an offset printing press are also provided.
