Ultima Conventional
The dampening side of Ultima, for conventional systems.
Where the dampening train is separate from the inking train, the requirement inverts: the roller must stay reliably water-receptive for its whole life and must not pick up ink. Ultima Conventional is formulated for conventional dampening systems, holding a uniform water film across the face without the patchiness that shows up as faded and smeared work on the sheet.
