Abstract
There is provided a printing blanket having no seam in the circumferential direction thereof, which realizes high quality of printings in a wide range from normal printing to high, speed printing, and which has high strength to facilitate the handling and prolonged life, thus enabling the reuse of the sleeve and the like. Specifically, on the peripheral surface of the cylindrical sleeve 21, the base layer 1, the compressible layer 2, the non-stretchable layer 3 and the surface printing layer 4 are laminated by interposing the adhesive layers 31, 32, 33 and 34, respectively. All of the above layers comprise a seamless elastomer. The non-stretchable layer 3 is prepared by winding a wire rod in helical fashion.
