Project Description

The Advantage is a revolution in the development of offset printing blankets for the printing industry. The characteristics of its unique construction, which is based on the cord carcass, brings outstanding advantages up to 30% saving in comparison with standard offset printing blankets in the printing process. Specially formulated to be compatible with UV curing inks, varnishes and washes for printing on absorbent and non absorbent substrates.

  • Microground Printing Surface

  • Dimensionally stable compressible carcass

  • Specially formulated carbon black EPDM surface responsible for high resistance to swelling against non-aggressive UV drying inks and cleaning agents, preventing electrostatic charges. Not recommended for use with daylight fluorescent inks and metal-pigmented inks.

  • Production of compressible layer with min thickness tolerances. Its unique compressible design reduces surface smashes and markings created by rigid substrates such as metals, plastics and boards. Optimised balance for  well defined screens and even smooth solids. Almost no sinking or stretching giving the blanket exceptional dimensional stability. After mounting no need for further re-tensioning thus leading to reduced down time.
