Abstract
A printing blanket according to the present invention is substantially composed of a base fabric and a surface printing layer, and a part or the whole of the base fabric is composed of hollow fibers. The printing blanket is superior in productivity because it has a simpler structure than that of an air-type printing blanket, and has excellent compression properties similar to those of the air-type printing blanket.
