NOW ORDERING THOMPSON/HSBOYD PRODUCTS IS EASIER THAN EVER!
As you probably know by now, the merger between Thompson and HS Boyd has been a little challenging. Integrating part numbers from both companies has taken a long time – well over a year!
We’re pleased to let you know that we’ve made ordering and cross-referencing products easier. Now, when you enter or search for a new Thompson PCN, it will also include the old Thompson PCN, as well as any HS Boyd number so you can be assured you are ordering the right product.
Some HS Boyd products have been discontinued and replaced with a similar Thompson product.
We’re happy to help if you have any questions about choosing the right product for you.

BURNISHINE CHROME ROLLER CLEANER/ DESENSITIZER #3462Q REPLACES PRO 10
Pro 10 Chrome Roller Cleaner Desensitizer has been discontinued, and as a result, we highly recommend replacing Pro 10 with Burnishine Chrome Roller Cleaner / Desensitizer #3462Q.
Chrome Roller Cleaner / Desensitizer is a one-step cleaner that you simply wipe on and leave on! It effectively desensitizes chrome so it becomes more water-loving and oleophobic (ink hating). It helps prevent ink from sticking to chrome rollers or traveling through the ink train. CRC increases dampener efficiency and helps prevent oxidation. It can also be used on metering rollers. CRC is suitable for all presses and dampeners and won’t interfere with fountain solutions.
As with all our products, #3462Q is made proudly in the USA.
PRO 3 SM/SILVER MASTER REPLACED WITH.....
Burnishine SM Fountain Solution (#3459) or Pro 3 Universal are perfect replacements for discontinued Pro 3 SM.

They provide protection from problems associated with alkaline paper and carbonless paper, which are notorious for causing toning and other press problems. Special wetting agents help maintain proper pH and conductivity during press runs. Recommended for presses up to 40".
Both solutions are proudly made in the USA.
