Recently introduced for sheet-fed applications, the blanket also provides high quality printing of paper and cardboard packaging, company says, adding that machine is a 1.95-mm blanket that is easy to set up for a wide variety of sheet-fed and packaging jobs.
Vulcan Zenith is designed for general sheet-fed applications and offers very good halftone reproduction and overall printing quality, plus shock mark absorption and excellent paper smash resistance. The three-ply, 1.95-mm blanket is compatible with hybrid inks.
The Vulcan X-Coat Plus is a new polymer-surface coating plate that does not contain fabrics. It is said to be easy to strip, offering clear and visible lines.
