Beechmont Press — The Ink Inquisition

With the help of its longtime supplier, Varn International, Beechmont finally conquered its biggest solution woe—variations in water hardness. It seems when autumn leaves accumulate in the Ohio River, so do pollutants and particulates in the water supply. To combat the resulting hardness variations, Varn installed an "RO" (reverse osmosis) water system that removes, as Stahl says, "bacteria, particles—everything. The system even includes a post-treatment filter that put elements beneficial to the printing process back into the water before it's mixed. It's the ultimate printing water."
