The NOVURANIA 303 Revolution (U.S. Patent No. 6,019,042, European Patent No. 0 844 100 B1 and other international Patents Pending) is a completely new concept in offset blanket technology and design, developed to overcome some of the more common printing and spot coating problems caused by shortcomings in existing blanket structures. Its "Revolution" lies in the fact that the isotropic carcass has a very much lower stretch than that of comparable common multi-ply textile constructed blankets. Stripping out the upper part of the carcass in localised areas leaves clean, deep and even recesses for coating and spot varnishing applications. The patented core of 303 Revolution is a high strength polyester film, which remains highly dimensionally stable, wet or dry. This core will maintain constant register from the first to the last sheet. The result is less press stops to clean up, increasing the profitability of the press and the job. The hydrophilic nature of the 303 Revolution transfer surface makes it possible to obtain more consistently higher coating weights on the substrate surface. Your customers will notice the quality improvement. But the surface used in 303 Revolution also offers exceptional resistance to UV coatings compared to most strippable blankets or plates available on the market, which have a strong tendency to swell when in contact with UV coatings. The 303 Revolution can be re-used time and time again. The blanket once removed can be stored and re-used on repeat jobs, so the printer will save time and money not having
to re-cut standard stripping blankets. Its main advantages are:
