Printing offset blanket

A printing offset blanket comprising:

• a supporting layer, comprising:
• a compressive layer, comprising a rubber matrix, and a supporting base layer, comprising a plurality of non-woven fabric sub-layers, laminated onto a surface of said compressive layer, and
• a surface printing layer, comprising rubber, laminated on a surface of said compressive layer opposite to said supporting base layer;
• wherein said offset blanket has no reinforcing layer between the compressive layer and the surface printing layer;
• wherein said surface printing layer has a thickness of about 5 to 20% of the thickness of the whole blanket;
• wherein said rubber comprising the surface printing layer has a hardness of about 40.degree. to 70.degree. Type A hardness according to JIS K 6301;
• wherein said compressive layer has:
• a void volume of about 30 to 60%, and
• a thickness of about 10 to 30%, of the thickness of the whole blanket;
• and
• wherein said rubber matrix comprising the compressive layer has a hardness of about 40.degree. to 80.degree. Type A hardness according to JIS K 6301.
