A Web Library

With this Knowledge Repository we are making our view clear that Offset Printing Industry still misses extensive Laboratory Testing and Analysis. Only extensive R&D work will enable Printing Blankets Designers to solve persisting offset printing issues, namely:

• Increasingly Disproportionate Makeready Costs with the ever smaller printed runs.
• Overheating problems that limit high speed Coldset Web printing.
• Frequent unpleasant surprises on difficult job reprints.
• Attaining the image sharpness levels required by fancy Packaging Design Bureaus.

The (often dull) documentation presented in this true Web Data Base clearly stresses that successful R&D is based on organisation and persistence. It must be in fact understood that an unsolvable problem is usually a large amount of fairly simpler problems. But difficulties are often perceived deeply entangled with each other, like the fibres of a thick felted cloth.

It was only after a number of years of thought and results interpretation that more comprehensive studies appeared, opening finally the way to understanding the essence of blanket reaction to cyclic compression. Please go to our news.
