NTR 118

High Quality Web & Sheetfed Blanket

Download Brochure

The NTR 118 has a completely new face compound, formulated for optimum print quality even with alcohol free printing and with VOC-free blanket washes.

Mainly designed for high quality sheet-fed printing, it excels in long service life when printing with high-pigmented inks and with frequent changes of stock format and gauges.

Top print quality and long service life of the printing blanket are today’s most important factors. In sheet-fed printing this means high resistance to smashes, and format changes without any problems. It has excellent resistance to a variety of chemicals.

The NTR 118 incorporates the latest closed cell compressible layer, the NOVURANIA “Sinkless Technology”, and a carefully chosen blend of compound ingredients and polymers for the lithographic printing surface. This features an excellent compression set and rebound characteristics. The precision buffed surface finish provides excellent ink transfer and sheet releasing properties.

The carcass is unsurpassed in printing stability. Multiple calendaring of the cotton plies, a proprietary construction of the compressible layer to minimize variations of compressibility, as well as an innovative coating technique, guarantee minimal sinking and maximum durability.
