Editor's note: Foreign blanket manufacturers mainly include Reeves Brothers Inc., Day International and Mac Dermid, Germany Contitech and Phoenix, UK Duco, Japan's Jinyang Agency, Meiji, Sumitomo, Tengcang, etc. Their total output is about 4 million m2. Above all, basically all of them are air-cushioned blankets, and the conventional products of the aforementioned manufacturers can often be seen in the domestic market.
The main varieties produced by these foreign manufacturers are: sheetfed printing blankets, web printing blankets, newspaper high-speed blankets, UV printing blankets, form printing blankets, metal printing blankets, waterless blankets, plastics Printing blankets, packaging printing blankets and so on. The patented technologies include: foamed microsphere technology, high-pressure microsphere air cushion, high-speed printing blankets (7-80,000 rpm), seamless and blanket blankets for narrow offset blankets, and all-round blankets Wait. The characteristics of foreign air-cushioned blankets are: high precision in surface layer processing, minimal flatness error, good ink transfer effect, good paper peelability, and resistance to cutting, abrasion, and cracking. The elastic layer is composed of a microporous air cushion layer, which has good resilience and prevents the surface from sinking, ensuring the uniform printing pressure of the entire blanket surface. Fabric weave has waterproof and anti-corrosive properties, and its low-elongation structure greatly improves printing stability.
Some of the latest blanket technologies in the world are:
The Vulcan Reflection & SRF super-abrasive rubber blanket produced by Reeves of the United States is a key product for sheet-fed and web printing. The cloth is waterproof and resistant to corrosion, has high mechanical strength, and the elastic layer is not easily broken and has good stability.
The Steel Back rubber roll from Day by the United States is a stainless steel liner blanket for heat-cured, fast-drying web presses and Day Ggaphica 3000 sheet for waterless printers. Blanket.
Superstrip4 from Duco, UK, is a peel-off blanket for sheet-fed printing and packaging printing on-line stencil coating operations. Its polyester support layer maintains dimensional stability in all directions.
The ContiAir Prestige developed by Contitech of Contitech, Germany, is an all-round air-cushioned blanket with strong compressibility and a soft buffer surface layer. It prints to a sheet-fed offset printing package. Its greatest feature is that any substrate can be replaced, for example, by When the corrugated paper is changed to plain paper, it does not need to change the blanket, and its compressibility is particularly strong.
