ULTRA DOT® TP
Ultra Dot® TP – the most innovative blanket available today for offset presses – TP comprises of a 1.95 mm blanket, with two fabric layers and two compressible layers.
Ultra Dot® TP's unique construction enables the introduction of two compressible layers to produce optimum performance for the printing of good solids and the reduction of pressure lines which often occur with solids. With TP´s new design it is now possible to utilise Dual-Air-Technology without compromising either feature.
Extensive research led to the developmentof a blanket that employs two compressible layers and two fabric layers into one carcass.
The first compressible layer produces exceptional printing quality with solids and halftones while the second compressible layer reduces visible pressure lines and provides exceptional smash recovery leading to extended life time of the blanket. Ultra Dot® TP is suitable for printing on both paper (especially recycled paper) and carton.
