TIPS & TRICKS: THE BLANKET: KEY TO GOOD OFFSET PRINTING

  The blanket is a real all-rounder in offset printing. It transfers text and graphic elements exactly from the printing plate to printing stock, which is an incredibly demanding task when you take a closer look at what all that involves. The blanket must be able to take on colour as well as it dispenses it. It also has to distribute dampening solution evenly, and irregularities in thickness in the printing stock have to be evened out. The blanket also has to serve as a kind of "damping system." Specific material characteristics determine how well the printed material releases from the blanket (quick release effect), how high quality the replication is in terms of colour and tone, and how strongly the printed image is affected by mechanical strain.

These tests focused on surface properties (for example roughness, chemical composition) as well as "damping qualities...

Most books were handwritten by monks, who painstakingly copied each word onto a page by hand. These books were called illuminated manuscripts. They were expensive and meant only for nobles and the Church. In the 17th century, a revolution in thought changed the world. It was called the "scientific enlightenment" and relied heavily on the printing press, allowing scientists to publish their works and theories. These publications inspired...

Around 1440, a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press. This invention allowed for printing at a much faster rate than before and made it possible for books to be printed in large quantities for the first time. The movable-type printing press greatly increased literacy rates across Europe and beyond. 6 Ways the Printing Press Changed the World 1.It made access to the news an expectation.
