Underlay

Under blankets are a secondary blanket that is installed below the primary blanket. Some presses utilize this 2-ply blanket system to give the operator more control over the blanket thickness which is the means of adjustment for printing pressure. Under blankets will come cut to size for the press and will match the primary blanket. In some situations the under blanket should be replaced at the same time as the primary blanket. In low wear situations it is not uncommon for underblankets to last as long as two primary blankets.
