Abstract
A unitary printing blanket construction which requires no packing when installed and which has a nontextured, low abrasion base surface contacting the blanket cylinder so that the pressures to which the blanket is subjected are spread substantially over the entire surface of the blanket in contact with the blanket cylinder is provided. The laminated printing blanket construction includes at least one base ply and a surface layer laminated to one surface thereof. The opposite surface of the base ply is substantially nontextured such that, when mounted on a blanket cylinder, the pressures to which the blanket is subjected are spread substantially over the entire surface of the blanket in contact with the cylinder. The printing blanket is particularly useful when used in conjunction with a metal-plated blanket cylinder.
