Abstract

A rubber blanket cylinder for offset printing utilizes a cylinder body that has magnetic strips to retain a rubber blanket packing comprised of a rubber blanket and a ferromagnetic rubber blanket support. A fastening strip is positioned on the circumference of the cylinder body and extends axially along the cylinder. The rubber blanket packing is prevented from wandering or shifting by the fastening strip. A free end of the fastening strip is covered by the rubber blanket which is thus fastened on the cylinder body in an essentially gap-free manner.
