Böttcher views press processes as systems whose functionality depends on the interaction between individual components. Besides paper, printing ink and technology, the choice of printing and coating blankets also plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the printed products. Böttcher has developed a diverse program of printing blankets and coating plates designed to achieve a single goal: to perfect the printed image and enhance the user-friendliness of presses. After all, we know rubber!

Exact dot reproduction; rich, even solids; quick sheet and web release; and reduced piling - all of these criteria are achieved with the aid of BöttcherTop blankets. Excellent smash resistance and gauge stability guarantee top performance. And this quality pays off, as printers who use optimum printing and coating blankets work much more efficiently and economically!

Additional value from Böttcher includes blanket seminars from our highly skilled field technicians as well as specific technical information including packing requirements and torqueing numbers.

Hydrophilic face rubber reduces piling, is easy to wash-up and provides high coating transfer. Resistant to swelling from polar solvents found in UV coatings and washes while still compatible with all aqueous coatings and washes. Micro-ground and polished surface ensures tight gauge tolerance and homogenous coating transfer. Stripping layer technology is glue free. Stripping is quick and easy. No stencil delamination caused by coatings or washes. High stability polyester carrier. No gauge loss. No mis-registration at makeready or during run. Deep stencil reduces coating build-up in non-coating areas. Also available in a special thickness for KBA presses known as BöttcherTop 1003.
