    Why do you think the pH is too low. US founts typically run 3.8 to 4.5 on pH with a conductivity range of 1800-2500. Are you using an alcohol replacement or just alcohol on this KBA?

    A lower pH product might help you roll up faster. Is the 5 star pH level affecting your ink? Do you have printing issues with this material and the 4% alcohol like toning on press?

    actually the ink doesn`t affect a lot. But the dot gain usually above 20%.
