BIRKAN Masterprint EL
Premium blanket for forms printing or highspeed sheetfed
BIRKAN Masterprint EL has been developed especially for forms printing, but can also be used on high-speed sheetfed presses. The stability needed is achieved by optimized adhesive rubber coatings which increase the bond to the low-elongation fabric.
The surface is composed by a newly developed rubber with ideal trapping features. Excellent sheet-release, miminal paper dust piling and reduced ink build-up are achieved by an optimum roughness of the micro-ground surface. The sharp dot reproduction even allows printing of FM halftones.
The printing surface is very well suitable for hybrid printing due to reduced swelling.
Due to a specially developed, highly compressible pore system, the compressible layer is characterised by a consistently low sinking behaviour. The blanket allows frequent switches of paper types without any trouble.
