A method for making a printing blanket having an outer lithographic layer and at the back, on the side opposite to the lithographic layer, a layer made of polymer material, entails providing polymer material that can be rectified, and then rectifying the polymer material to help control a thickness of the blanket. The invention is useful in the field of printing machines.

Method for making a printing blanket comprising a back layer made of a polymer material and resulting blanket

A method for making a printing blanket resulting from assembling a plurality of layers employs elastomer layers which do not contain thermal cross-linking agents and are of the thermoplastic type. Such a printing blanket is useful in the field of printing machines.

Method for making a printing blanket

An improved lithographic layer for a printing blanket and a blanket fitted with this layer is provided. The lithographic layer is made from an elastomer material that is slightly compressible due to the inclusion of a multiplicity of voids or microspheres in the elastomer material. The lithographic layer may be shaped as a sleeve forming the outer layer of a printing blanket.
