Alois Senefelder Well-known member May 5, 2019 #2 Hello Bronze Blue, Acidity in Litho Printing is an important factor. Oleoresinous Varnishes are used as Ink Vehicles in the manufacture of Litho Printing Inks, my guess is that you are referring to the "Fatty Acids" which are a necessary component of Ink Vehicles which aid the Oxidation process.
