<p>Manipulation means for a printing blanket (7), comprises a cassette (1) of dimensions sufficient at least to contain a printing blanket in wound form, said cassette comprising a casing (2) of generally cylindrical shape having a longitudinal opening (3) for sheet-form egression of a printing blanket from within the cassette. In one preferred embodiment, the cassette has a pressure slide (10) attached to or integral therewith adjacent to the longitudinal opening (3), for pressing a printing blanket on a press cylinder (5) when the blanket is fed onto the cylinder. The cassette is advantageously employed in the manipulation of large adhesive-backed printing blankets for web-feed offset printing presses.</p> |
