Title: Printing blanket and method of making same

Abstract: An adhesive printing blanket including rubber or rubber-like material. The printing blanket may also be provided with reinforcing inserts. A foil-like protective layer covers the adhesive layer of the printing blanket. The protective layer, which is elastically flexible, is removed by pulling off prior to the adhesive mounting of the printing blanket. The protective layer is under a tensile stress to preclude creasing during rolling up of the printing blanket into a roll and during subsequent spreading out of the printing blanket into a plane.
