Abstract
A dampening water composition for lithographic printing which comprises 0.1 to 5% by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting of monoalcohols or diols of alkanes or alkenes having 5 to 11 carbon atoms, to which 1 to 10 moles of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide are added. The dampening water composition is not toxic, has not a possiblity of causing a fire and pollution of working atmosphere and, therefore, the use of a local exhaust installation is not necessary. Moreover, it is excellent in characteristics as dampening water such that it does not cause contamination of metering roll, has good bleeding properties, emulsifying properties and stability in continuous processing as well as low foaming properties. Thus, the composition makes printing operation quite stable.
