Though a pressman doesn't need to know everything about how offset printing[printing?:printing cutting finishing solution] blankets are constructed, he should understand a few basic characteristics that affect the printed product. Here I offer seven properties that directly affect how well a blanket will run on an offset printing press.
Tensile Strength, Solvent Resistance, Caliper, Surface Release, Compressibility, Stretch, Squareness.
Those is seven properties that directly affect the offset printing press with particular focus on how it will effect the ability to run on the press and the printed product.
