An image transfer product such as a printing blanket or sleeve is provided which includes at least a base layer, a printing surface layer, and an optional intermediate compressible layer, where one or more of the layers is formed from a thermoplastic polyurethane or thermoplastic polyurethane alloy. The thermoplastic polyurethane compressible layer has a plurality of voids therein introduced by the use of pre-expanded or unexpanded microspheres. The resulting blanket or sleeve exhibits good resistance to compression.
