Printing blanket

Printing blankets are a key element in obtaining high-quality prints. All types of blankets have the same structure: the bottom layer and the surface layer. The bottom layer is composed of layers of fabric fibers, each layer is independent, and there is a layer of elastic material between the two layers to control the stretchability of the blanket. This makes the blanket porous and also has a certain degree of elasticity.

The surface layer is different according to the manufacturer, may be composed of several layers of elastic materials, each layer has its own physical properties, and then these material layers with different physical properties are combined together. After this, the combined blankets are wrapped on a roller, finely stretched, and finally hardened in the oven.

Differences between blankets, different surface structures, profiles, hardness, and compressibility make the processing process different. The most critical elements of the blanket, one by one, should have the ability to obtain the maximum amount of ink from the plate without damaging the image, while at the same time being able to transfer the ink as much as possible onto the substrate, and at high speeds. in the case of.
