Printing Blankets TRIZ Cases

Controlled blanket elongation and compressibility help set defined image overlap on metallic molded bodies without major equipment changes.

Grinding the contact layer sets blanket thickness while keeping sanding structures off the printing side for cleaner ink transfer.

Hydrophobic transfer surfaces flatten aqueous ink droplets for sharp, dry films.

Labile adhesion between two compressible layers allows uniform knock-out creation while maintaining dimensional stability and mechanical resistance.

A multi-layer endless printing blanket uses alternating S-twist and Z-twist yarns in its reinforcement layer to ensure uniform straight running.

A paste transfer layer uses an inter-penetrating polymer network of silicone rubber and fluoroelastomer to absorb solvents while maintaining dimensional stability.

Relief areas on a metal-backed printing blanket allow insertion into a cylinder gap, preventing premature release during high-speed operations.

Stretching the sheet along the elastic body surface during adhesive bonding prevents wrinkles and air bubbles, ensuring a smooth printing surface.

Coordinating foam hardness with thickness resolves the trade-off between paste transfer quality and blanket durability for fine conductive wire production.

A charged polymeric formulation stabilizes aqueous ink droplets on hydrophobic transfer members through electrostatic attraction.

Arc-shaped ridge lines on a ring-shaped printing blanket match the curvature of doughnut surfaces, squeezing trapped air out during single-pass ink transfer.

Direct adhesion eliminates residue and speeds replacement, reducing downtime.

Segmented flexible secondary plates resolve downtime from plate changes by allowing multiple distinct images without sacrificing production efficiency.

Replacing metal backings with non-extensible polymeric materials and adding relief areas solves mounting stiffness while maintaining dimensional stability.

Independent servo motors drive can decorator axes, eliminating manual cylinder adjustment to reduce registration time.

Continuous injection molding creates a seamless endless belt with embedded reinforcing threads to maintain dimensional accuracy during multi-color printing.

Replacing acrylic adhesives with thermo-adhesive sheets prevents solvent penetration and corrosion, reducing machine downtime.

Elastic printing blanket with 2 to 20 µm surface irregularities enables reliable ink transfer.

An intermediate bridge section in a bridged blanket sleeve resolves compressibility inconsistency from manual fabrication, extending useful life.

A hydrophobic intermediate transfer member holds ink droplets flat using intermolecular forces before drying and transferring the image to a substrate.

Compressible abrasive fleece targets defect elevations on rubber layers, preserving thickness tolerance and eliminating scrap.

Warp-stretched woven fabric in the printing rubber blanket prevents sink-down and regional thickness variations caused by moisture sensitivity.

Elastomer adhesive compensates for thermal loads and varying pressures, ensuring thickness consistency.

A printing blanket with a recessed base member concentrates pressure to transfer uniform ink layers onto curved surfaces.

Longitudinal grooves on a printing blanket isolate ink transfer between pages, eliminating multiple inking rollers and reducing storage costs.

A yielding transfer roller absorbs pressure to prevent local deformation of the flexographic printing plate, ensuring perfect contact on non-smooth surfaces.
