The present invention relates to a digital printing blanket carcass (25) for supporting a transfer layer (15) having an outer surface which is capable of transferring electrostatic particles. This carcass (25) includes an upper layer of a resilient material (50) which can withstand a temperature of up to about 150 DEG C, such as silicone rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, an acrylic rubber or a fluoroelastomer. The carcass also includes a compressible layer (45) of elastomeric matrix material having a plurality of open or closed cells therein; and a fabric layer (40), made from a fiber material which can withstand a temperature of up to about 150 DEG C, such as carbon, boron, a metal, fiberglass, a polyimide, or an aromatic polyamide. |
