Amaranth Printing Blanket

Amaranth High Speed Press Blanket is an innovative press blanket designed for modern heat set and sheet-fed offset printing.

Phoenix Xtra Amaranth High Speed Printing Blanket

Designed for modern high-speed offset printing, the Phoenix Xtra Amaranth High Speed Press Blanket delivers exceptional print quality, durability, and performance across a wide range of commercial printing applications. Manufactured in Germany by ContiTech, this advanced offset blanket is engineered with innovative TEMP Control Layer Technology, providing superior paper feeding characteristics, outstanding dimensional stability, and extended service life.

The dual compressible layer construction helps absorb vibration and minimise streaking, resulting in consistently sharp image reproduction and reliable print performance at high press speeds. Its highly resistant micro-ground surface ensures excellent ink transfer, reduced marking, and long-lasting durability, making it an ideal solution for demanding print environments.

The Amaranth High Speed Press Blanket offers very good quick-release behaviour, helping to reduce paper handling issues while maintaining smooth and efficient production. Its optimised compressibility and robust surface rubber contribute to consistent print quality across long print runs, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Suitable for both sheet-fed and heat set offset printing, this versatile blanket performs exceptionally well in packaging, label printing, business forms, metal decoration, newspaper printing, and waterless printing applications. It is also compatible with conventional inks, UV printing, hybrid printing processes, water-based varnishes, and UV coatings, giving printers maximum flexibility across a variety of jobs and substrates.

Available in 1.70 mm and 1.96 mm thicknesses, the Phoenix Xtra Amaranth High Speed Printing Blanket is designed to meet the demands of modern commercial print operations where precision, reliability, and efficiency are paramount. Its combination of advanced construction, vibration suppression, and long service life helps printers achieve consistent, high-quality results while optimising overall press performance.
