The advantages of a soft and a hard blanket combined in one and the same product
FEATURES | BENEFITS |
Micro-ground and polished printing surface, controlled roughness 0.8-1.1µm | Sharp and crisp halftones |
Full dots, dense and well-spread solids | |
Optimum ink cover on all paper grades (coated, uncoated, LWC) | |
Excellent web and sheet release (Quick Release) | |
Original surface rubber blend using different types of polymers | Controlled swelling in dual-purpose and hybrid applications (conventional, UV and hybrid inks and washes) |
Reduced ink piling | |
No fabric between printing surface and first compressible layer | No surface rubber delamination |
No sinking at the gap, maximum print length | |
Excellent resistance to excess-pressure (wrap-arounds double/folded sheets, web changes, format changes, etc) | |
Handles uneven substrates and thickness variations in substrates with ease | |
Two compressible layers | Excellent resistance to excess-pressure (wrap-arounds, double/folded sheets, web changes, format changes, etc) |
Compensates for mechanical shortcomings such as cylinder bounce (streaks), press specific vibrations and press wear | |
Low tendency for heat-built-up (great stability of the ink/water balance, no surface delamination) | |
Two different technologies of compressible layers: microspheres (1st)/ pressurized voids (2nd) | Low energy loss in time, extended service life |
Instant recovery after every nip | |
Two fabric plies only | Minimum gauge loss |
