Abstract

An offset blanket for a grooveless blanket cylinder for applying a printed image onto web material or sheet material is composed of a carrier plate which has been cut to size and a rubber layer placed on the carrier plate. The beginning and the end of the carrier plate of the rubber layer are connected to each other so that the outer circumferential surface of the blanket is continuous and without gaps. The blanket surrounds the blanket cylinder in the operating position in the form of a sleeve in a frictionally engaging manner but releasably. A register device is provided on at least one end face of the blanket for securely positioning the blanket on the blanket cylinder.
