Printing and packaging equipment supplier J.L. Lennard Graphics has announced a distribution agreement with printing blanket manufacturer Sava, for the Australian and New Zealand markets.
Tony Colella, general manager of J.L. Lennard Graphics says Sava’s patented offset printing blankets feature radial tyre technology applied to printing blankets removing traditional multiple cotton textile plies from the carcass of the blanket and replacing it with a single ply of rubberised cord.
The result is a flagship product incorporating new technology that offers improved stability, minimum elongation, fast relaxation with minimum loss of tension, minimum gauge loss and low sinking of 0.02/0.03 mm – lower than any blanket on the market, according to Colella.
J.L. Lennard Graphics says sold in 70 countries worldwide, the blankets incorporate environmental standards, including ISO 14001, extending from raw materials and energy supply to products and services that minimise impact on the environment.
Colella says, “Sava’s technology offers both market leading efficiency and environmental benefits, using less ink while lasting 30 to 40 per cent longer.”
He adds, “The blankets’ high rubber content and optimised impact resistance means they can be subjected to greater pressure with rapid recovery for sharp dot reproduction, high resistance to edge marking and superb reproduction throughout its extended lifespan.”
