Offset Printing Blanket - Art or Science?

A good offset printing blanket needs optimization in various blanket parameters.At IMPRINT we engineer each parameter of the offset printing blanket to ensure best print quality and blanket durability. These parameters include: Thickness: The blanket's thickness should be suitable for the printing application and the type of printing press being used. It needs to be thick enough to ensure proper ink transfer while maintaining the desired print quality. Hardness: The hardness of the blanket affects the ink transfer and image reproduction. It should be chosen based on the printing surface and the desired print results. Softer blankets provide better conformability, while harder blankets offer durability and sharper image reproduction. Surface Texture: The surface texture of the blanket can be smooth or rough. The choice depends on the specific printing requirements and the characteristics of the printing material. The texture affects ink transfer and can im...
