<p>A method used in offset printing utilizes an electrically encoded image, stored in an electronic memory (34) to be transferred to a printing substrate (58) during a coating application in an offset printing process. An offset printing blanket (18) is attached under tension to a blanket cylinder (12) of an offset printing machine. After attachment of the blanket (18) to the cylinder, the blanket is automatically cut in accordance with the electrically encoded image. Subsequently, sections of the blanket (18) are removed along cut lines made in the outer layer (16) during the cutting thereof.</p> |
