Offset Blankets — Printers' Security Blanket

To that end, Reeves offers a full line of Vulcan offset printing blankets for the web, sheetfed, newspaper, business forms, packaging, cylindrical and conventional markets. Two new products have been released: the Vulcan Editor newspaper blanket and the Vulcan Alto web blanket.

Among the critical selection factors for printing blankets, according to Billy Bauman, marketing manager for Gans Ink & Supply, are the integrity and smoothness of the blanket surface, its ink-carrying ability, release, longevity and resistance to stretching, smashes and sinking.
