Presentation Transcript

  1. Types of Offset Printing Blankets: Compressible vs. Conventional

  2. Introduction to Offset Printing Blankets Key Function Importance Offset Printing Blankets transfer ink from plate to paper. Critical for image quality and press performance. Main Types Conventional and Compressible blankets.

  3. Conventional Blankets Structure Properties Layers of rubber and fabric; no compressible layer. • Rigid, firm surface • Sensitive to pressure changes Applications Older presses, slower speeds, low complexity jobs.

  4. Compressible Blankets Structure Properties Includes foam or microsphere compressible layer. • Flexible, absorbs pressure variations • Enhances print consistency and sharpness Applications Modern high-speed presses, variable ink coverage jobs.

  5. Key Differences: Conventional vs. Compressible Feature Conventional Compressible Structure No compressible layer Has compressible layer Pressure Handling Low High Print Quality Adequate Superior Durability Moderate Longer life Cost Lower Slightly higher Use Case Simple jobs High-speed, complex jobs

  6. Choosing the Right Blanket Press Type Job Complexity Budget Substrate Variety Consider speed and design compatibility. Fine details or large solid areas? Balance upfront cost vs. quality benefits. Match blanket to paper thickness and type.

  7. Conclusion & Takeaways Conventional Blankets Cost-effective for basic printing needs. Compressible Blankets Superior print quality for demanding, complex jobs.
