AMK COMPRESSIBLE PRINTING BLANKETS
DESCRIPTION
click to enlarge ...AMK compressible printing blankets are high quality, technically advanced products, especially designed for the most demanding printers of today. The most important characteristic of the AMK blankets is its carcass, which employs radial technology that provides incredible tensile strength, stability and eliminates the need for re-packing due to reduced gauge sinking. Moreover, the compressible layer of the product improves usage and durability of the product with excellent smash and edge marking resistance. Finally, the surface layer has been micro-ground to provide superior ink transfer and printing characteristics.

Our technologically advanced conversion and barring facility ensures our customers receive first class blankets that are press ready and quality assured. Minimum downtime is achieved through our wide range of bars. These bars are attached to the blankets using high pressure press and the security of the bar attachment is ensured by a highly effective epoxy adhesive.

CHARACTERISTICS ADVANTAGES
Exceptional carcass utilizing Radial technology Gives incredible strength and stability on the press. Low stretching and sinking values eliminate the need for re-tensioning.
Closed cell compressible layer Uniform compressibility reduces blanket-to-plate pressure, thus resulting in controlled dot gain values, while maintaining excellent smash and edge marking resistance.
Micro-ground surface Guarantees excellent ink transfer for both conventional and UV print modes. Provides excellent dot reproduction with superior sheet release, as well as resistance to pressroom chemicals.
Sealed bottom layer Provides protection against water and chemical penetration and reduces cylinder-sweating tendencies.
