Abstract
A blanket for a printing cylinder of the type having a core with a lateral gap along the periphery of the core is disclosed. The blanket includes a non-extensible backing which is suitable to be wrapped around the core and has first and second opposed lateral ends suitable to be attached to the core within the gap. A filler portion extends laterally across and is fixed to the first lateral end and an elastomeric covering is secured over the backing and filler portion. The filler portion spans the gap beneath the covering between the first and second lateral ends of the backing to support the covering over the gap. Supporting the covering over the gap provides the printing cylinder with a substantially continuous circumference to reduce shocks and vibrations throughout the printing press.
