Abstract
A method of producing a high quality image on a blanket, including providing an image, a first piece of material having a substantially zero-nap upper surface configured to receive the image thereon, and a lower coupling surface. The method may include providing a second piece of material different than the first piece of material, the second piece of material having an upper coupling surface including a non-zero nap and a lower surface of a soft material. The method may include coupling the lower coupling surface of the first piece of material to the upper coupling surface of the second piece of material to form a single unit, while leaving the soft material of the second piece of material substantially exposed to an outside ambient environment, and incorporating the image within the substantially zero-nap upper surface of the first piece of material using a printing process.
