<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for managing a blanket, which is contrived to improve the printing quality of an ink pattern and maintain printing productivity by absorbing an ink solvent absorbed into the blanket at proper timing, and to provide a printing device. <P>SOLUTION: The printing device includes: the blanket 11; a solvent absorbing means 15 for absorbing the ink solvent in the blanket; and a measuring means selected from a group comprising a solvent concentration measuring means for measuring an ink solvent concentration in the blanket, a concentration distribution measuring means for measuring the concentration distribution of the ink solvent in the thickness direction of the blanket, and an ink pattern measuring means for measuring the dimension of the ink pattern 24. With the use of the printing device, conditions to perform processing for absorbing the ink solvent are determined based on measured results measured by the ink pattern measuring means and the solvent concentration measuring means, and then a swelling state of the blanket is properly controlled by controlling the solvent absorbing means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
