Blanket Precision: The Vital Impression in Offset Printing

-

Offset print media refers to a method of printing used in the production of various printed materials such as newspapers, magazines, brochures, books, and more. It is a traditional printing technique that involves transferring ink from a plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the printing surface, typically paper.

The process of offset printing involves several steps. First, the content to be printed is transferred onto metal plates through a photographic process or computer-to-plate technology. These plates are then mounted onto cylinders on the printing press. Ink is applied to the plates, and it adheres to the image areas while being repelled by the non-image areas.




Next, a rubber blanket cylinder comes into contact with the plates and receives the inked image. The image is then transferred from the rubber blanket cylinder onto the paper or other printing material as it passes through the press. This indirect transfer of ink is why it is called "offset" printing.

Offset printing offers high-quality results, sharp and consistent images, and the ability to reproduce fine details and colors accurately. It is known for its versatility, allowing printing on various paper stocks, including coated and uncoated papers. It is particularly well-suited for large print runs due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

While digital printing technologies have gained popularity in recent years, offset print media remains widely used for commercial printing projects that require high volume, consistent quality, and precise color reproduction. 

Offset printing rubber blankets are an essential component of the offset printing process. They play a crucial role in transferring the inked image from the plates to the printing surface, typically paper. They are engineered to achieve desired Hardness, Thickness, Surface Texture, Compressive & Tensile Strength, Dimensional stability, Chemical Resistance and Longevity.

Solvent vs Water Based Coating

-
Image
The choice between solvent-based and water-based coatings depends on various factors, such as intended use, environmental considerations, performance requirements, and regulatory compliance.  A solvent-based coating is a type of coating that uses organic solvents as the primary carrier. The organic solvents serve as a medium to disperse the other components of the coating. When the coating is applied, the solvents evaporate, leaving behind a solid film of resins and pigments on the surface.  A water-based coating, as the name suggests, uses water as the primary carrier instead of organic solvents. When the coating is applied, the water evaporate, leaving behind a solid film of resins and pigments on the surface. TORO coated fabric are available in both water and solvent based coating options Solvent-Based Coatings: Composition: Organic solvents Resins Pigments Additives Volatile organic...
