Title:

LOW RESILIENCE, HIGH INK RELEASING PRINTING SURFACE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2003002350

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Novel printing surfaces for off-set printing blankets are provided having a resilience of less than about 40 % and an average surface roughness of less than about 0.5 microns. Such low-resilience printing surfaces have been found to transfer up to greater than 90 % of the ink applied thereto and can be used to transfer ink on a wide variety of substrates. The printing blankets (10) can include a low resilience printing surface (12), a base (14), a woven fabric base ply layer (16) and a compressible layer (18).
