Sapphire CARAT
For the highest standards in sheet-fed offset
- Outstanding results in solid and halftone rendering
- Low dot gain
- Best contrast values
- Consistently low setting behaviour
- Minimum elongation
Application and description
Sapphire CARAT is distinguished by a compressible intermediate layer that guarantees outstanding printing results and a long service life.
Extremely low dot gain and best contrast values are achieved with the microground surface and split surface layer.
The additives used in the nitrile rubber surface support ink transfer and prevent ink and paper-dust buildup.
Sapphire CARAT is the perfect printing blanket for creating printed products of outstanding quality.
